To the best Mum, Nan and Nanny Josie in the World. We will miss you more than words can say, our lives will never be the same again.

Thank you for all the happy memories you gave each of us, Mum. Your grandsons Graeme and Adam will always remember the days out with Nan and Grandad. Days spent in Southport, having fish and chips and playing in the Penny Arcades. Then stopping on the way home to watch the planes landing at the airfield on the Formby Bypass.

Later on as adults, you were so proud of them and their wives, Charlotte and Muna, who you loved and welcomed into the family. None of them will ever forget your legendary roast dinners and enormous meals.

To Olivia and Daniel, (your great grandchildren,) you were their Nanny Josie. Their proud Nanny Josie who loved them and told everyone about them. Also “Little Tex” the baby Adam and Muna are expecting in the summer. Although they will never meet you, they will know Nanny Josie is one of the stars loving and watching over them and their cousins, Olivia and Daniel, from the night sky.

Night, God bless miss you always & love you always, Mum Ang & Greg x Night God bless Nan love and miss you always Graeme Adam Charlotte and Muna xx Night Night Nanny Josie Olivia Daniel and little “Tex” xxx ( Say Hi to Dad and Grandad when he meets you in heaven , hope he's got the kettle on )
