Whilst I didn't get the chance to spend much time with you, you were always so welcoming when we came to stay, and you made me laugh so much with your wit and the jokes you would send. 

Although Elba and Luciella too didn't get to spend much time with you, you always thought of them and would choose the perfect presents to send them on their birthdays and at Christmas. Elba still loves the unicorn, light-up blanket you sent her and sleeps with it a lot. 

The moment you began your final journey, we were driving Elba to school and the sun was creeping out of the clouds, leaving a beautiful contrast of shadow and sunlight. The girls and I chatted in the car about you, with Luciella shouting "Grandma" and Elba talking about how "Grandma will be in our hearts". 

Sleep well M-in-Law, we will make sure the girls grow up knowing all about their Grandma Judy. 

With lots of love, D in Law xxx
