Truly sad times indeed. She sounds like an amazing woman. RIP.
I'm very sad to report that my grandmother passed away this morning, aged 107. Born in 1913, she survived two world wars, but the second wave of the virus cruelly took her from us before we could properly say goodbye.
She had been wonderfully looked after for the last year or so by the amazing staff in her care home in Felixstowe. Everyone who works in this sector deserves are huge thanks and praise.
Her she is in happy times as reported in the EDP (I think) and also a quick photo of when she met her first great, great grandson (my grandson) for the first time.
Sad times.
Truly sad times indeed. She sounds like an amazing woman. RIP.
My condolences to you and your family. Its a terrible time at the moment - stay strong.
Really very sad that this horrible virus was the one to take away, such a grand lady. RIP.
Sad to hear. What a lovely photo of the opposite generational ends of the family.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. She sounds like a remarkable woman!
Very very sorry for your loss, thoughts are with you and your family.
My condolences. These are difficult times for anybody separated from their elderly relatives by Covid distancing requirements, and those caring for elderly patients who may not understand why their loved ones can't visit.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
A wonderful lady and a life well lived. Sorry for your loss.
My condolences. Indeed the end of an era.
So sorry for your loss, thoughts are with you and your family.
Sorry for your loss; that is a long life well lived. Lovely photo of her with the nipper.
Wow an amazing age to have reached & so much she love through. I’m sorry for the loss to your family, so many decades of knowledge and love.
I lost all of my grandparents as a young child, I’d have loved to experience their knowledge as I grew older.
Love to you all from our family.

Many thanks to you all for your kind words. These are greatly appreciated. She was a remarkable lady in so many respects and will be sorely missed. However, we will keep her memory alive by talking about her with our children, our grandchildren and our wider family and friends.
So sorry for your loss.
But wow, I can only begin to imagine the stories she must of had!

Sorry for your family’s loss OP. I love the photo of her and the baby, that’s one to treasure.

Sorry for your loss, sound like an amazing woman. Lovely pics.
Sorry to hear of her passing. Lovely photo, what a life she lived and experienced.
My condolences. She was a remarkable lady.
I often think how wonderful it would be to read the autobiography of interesting, but not famous, people such as her. She has such a kind, but strong, look to her. I can't but imagine just how simply cool she must have been. A life well lived.
A remarkable lady indeed! My sincere condolences and thank you for sharing this with us all.
It must be upsetting but also uplifting to consider her wonderful long life.
Condolences to your family, J.
Very sorry for your loss - May she rest in peace
