Nanny, I don't think I could have ever asked for a better nan, not only were u my nan but also my 2nd mother who help raise me into the women and mother I am today. Even though I am glad that your suffering is over, I still miss being able to kiss and hug you. Although I still know you are with me aswell as everyone, and yes I did see you and i am so greatful for that message. I love you so much nan that no words will ever express just how much. rest in peace my beautiful angel. "we'll meet again" Love always Casey -xxoo-

Nanny, I don't know where to start. I will never forget you, you were the greatest nan anyone could have asked for. You were always there for me and everybody else. You are an angel nan. I love you so much. There is thousands of things I could say but I think these few words will do. 'You are one in a million' Your amazing nan and you are sadly missed by everyone. You were one of a kind, and everyone could get along with you. In my eyes you were PERFECT. I will love you forever and always nanny. R.I.P xxx

In 1933 God sent his number 1 angel down to earth, to bring happiness to as many people as she could, and she surpassed his expectations everyone she met she touched and brightend up there day and made their life that little more pleasent. Her name was Mairy Fairchild soon to become Mary Redfern and I am proud to say I was lucky enough to be blessed as her Grandson. Nan I love you Unfortunately for us on Sunday March 29 2009 she left our world as God needed her back. I know you are still looking over us as I feal you all the time if I am sad I feal a warmth and it brings a smile to my face and makes me smile cause I can just feal your pressance and hear you in my head saying chear up it's ok I love you. when you were hear with us you changed my life and could chear me up, and when I was around you I could just feal your love. Know in death I still feal that even though you are not with us in the physical form you are still able to be with me, and make me feal better. That is proof you are a true Angel and proof of just how strong your love is. I also thank you for holding on and giving me and the rest of the family the chance to say goodbye and be with you till the end it has made things easier to deal with. I don't show my emotion thats just me but I have a tear in my eye writing this, I'm trying not to be sad your gone as it's not what you would have wanted. You are in a better place and your spirit is still with me I havn't lost you I don't have to see you to know you are here I can feal you stronger than ever I love you nan RIP

To my mum, no words could ever capture what you meant to me, not a day goes by without me thinking of you and shedding a tear or two. you always put me on a pedestal and made me feel so good about myself. so now when im feeling down i look to the skys above and i see the most beautiful angel ever, (my mum) and then i feel so proud and honoured knowing that the best mum in the world is still watching over her baby. love now and always your baby son billy.

Mum I know you are at peace now and I am glad for that. To me you were another mother in the real sense of the term "mother". You always encouraged me to continue with the many things I wanted to do and I really appreciate your guidance and love. There were times where my own mother couldn't give me what I needed and you were there. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have ever done for me. I know you watch over us everyday and I feel you close by and speak to you everyday. I am so happy you are with your family that you have missed for so long and I am sure you have also caught up with my mum and dad now. I look forward to reuniting with you when it's my time. Love you heaps - Judy

You were always on my mind love Sam (your littlie) xxxxxxxxxxx

I treasure the wonderful memories of the many times we spent at Highpoint shopping centre having a coffee and a chat on my rostered day's off work mum. We would talk about anything and everything and you were always there for me if I had a problem or two I needed some advice on. You would never judge me and would only ever give me tons of endless love and support, and I miss you terribly. Thankyou for everything mum, and for being the very best mother and friend I could ever wish for - love you always, Deg ( your little Deggie)

If God could grant me one wish, my wish would be to hold my Mum one more time and tell her how much I love her. Take her to Highpoint for her toasted melted cheese sandwich and of course, her cappucino. This memory will be with me always. I Love you Mum Love - Deg.

Mum, on behalf of everyone you have ever met, all those people that you have touched, gave empathy and support to, those people that's lives were changed or enriched because of you, Your family, nieces, nephews and friends who live in England, I say thankyou. I read the many tributes above and it brings a smile and a tear as its so obvious how much love you've left behind and therefore how much love you will take with you. I cant thank God enough for blessing us with you and no mere thankyou seems enough to you for your thoughtfulness, love & selflessness. I just hope that we can all live our lives as you did & enrich the lives of those we touch as then your gift will live on & on & on & it will be our way of living on your behalf. I hope we can & have made you proud. With more love than can ever be expressed, Rest in peace Mum xxxxxxxx

Hi mum, the toughest performance I have ever had to do was to sing in front of 400 people without you this past Mothers Day. As I tried to rehearse for the show in the days leading up to it, I kept thinking of you, and the tears just naturally began to flow (you know what I'm like). On the day of the show I was terrified that I would begin to sing and then break down in front of everyone there. As it happened, the thoughts I had of you as I was singing actually made me stronger, and I got through the show without anyone knowing how very sad I was feeling inside. I guess I have more of your strength than I had ever realised - thankyou mum. I hope you are having an absolute ball where you are - keep dancing and remember, save one for me. All my love and hugs, your grateful son Jim

A cherished Mother and Nan You are and were, and will forever be You loved us throughout a lifetime And we'll love you throughout eternity As children, you were our Nan, our strength The force upon which we relied You helped us grow through life's laughter and tears And you always stood by our side You were so strong and worked so hard To take good care of us Hours spent playing games with us, Such time we can't compare Proved to all your love for us With each new grandchild brought home Your commitment only grew You helped us, played with, and loved us As only you could do And how much we adore you! For you spoiled us with so much You treasured each one in such special ways There are too many examples to mention And though we are denied more days and years With a Nan as wonderful as you You've filled our hearts with sweet memories That'll remain a whole lifetime through Dearest Nan, we love you! We find we cannot do enough To express the depths of our gratitude For your sacrifice and your love But trust that you'll be remembered In sweetest memories every day For you have blessed our lives forever Through your goodness, love and strength! Nan, Your presence I'll miss, Your memory I'll treasure, Loving you always, Forgetting you never. Thank you for loving and sharing, For giving and for caring, God bless you and keep you, Until we meet again.

Hi Mum, well....its been a while now since you went away, and I guess you know how hard the past year has been for me. I felt you were with me during the toughest 12 months of my life (just like in the "Footprints" poster you gave me, remember?) - and I reckon I must have gotten through it with help from you somehow. Still miss you more each day, but hoping you are having a great time where you are - love you Mum, Jim
