Grandma Croft

She was an incredible lady - I know everyone says things like that about Grandmas when they're gone. At 93 we knew she wouldn't be around forever, still losing her last Friday was a heartbreaking shock. She really will be missed by all who knew her. I'm really too sad and speechless to write more than that, so I will borrow some words from Mum & Auntie Sharon's eulogy...

She was someone who looked like a little old lady on the surface but was full of surprises, mischievous twinkly-eyed stories and bold statements which she liked to whip out when she wanted to give you a little shock. She wasn’t a pushover, she was certainly stubborn and opinionated, but also kind, dryly funny, independent, sweet and down to earth.
