In solemn hush, we gather near,
Beneath the sky so vast and clear,
To bid farewell, with hearts so heavy,
To a soul cherished, steady, and merry.

She was a beacon, a guiding light,
A source of warmth in darkest night,
Her song echoed, her wisdom pure,
A presence that forever will endure.

With gentle hands and loving gaze,
She filled our lives in countless ways,
Her stories woven, memories spun,
In every heart, a treasured sun.

Now in this moment, bittersweet,
We lay her down in slumber's sheet,
But in the quiet, in the hush of rest,
Her spirit lingers, forever blessed.

Though gone from sight, she's forever near,
In whispered winds, in moments dear,
Her love, her grace, shall softly bloom,
In every dawn, in every room.

So let us honor, with tears that fall,
The love we shared, the echoes call,
For though she's parted from our sight,
Her spirit dances in the light.

Rest now, dear Nan, in peaceful grace,
Your memory time cannot erase,
Your legacy, a guiding flame,
In every heart, your spirit claims.

As flowers bloom and seasons wend,
Your love endures, beyond the end,
In every smile, in skies of blue,
We find our strength, dear Nan, in you.

Rest In Peace, 
My Beautiful, Wonderful, Kind, Loving, Nanny Mint,
Doreen June Townsend Nee Willats.
21st May 1930 - 25th December 2023.
I Will Forever Love And Miss You.
