It's taken me a long time to write this as I still honestly can't believe our beloved Nama is gone. I personally don't really want to share a memory as I have so many fond memories of Nama after knowing her for my last 20 years I don't know which one I would pick! What I do want to share is the qualities I think of when I remember her. When I think of Nama I think of her strength. I think of her will to live and her incredible ability to adapt and survive. I loved that she was always making the best of her situation and despite a diagnosis that would have crippled some people mentally she always forged ahead and continued to create and bring happiness into the world. I am so proud that my children got to have her as their Nama. She was such a wonderful guide to all of us on how to persevere in life. She was always so fiercely independent and always living in a way that was on her terms and definitely knew how to advocate for herself and others. She was such a strong teacher and had such a gift of empowering others to learn to do things for themselves. She will always be remembered by the things she created and I feel so privileged to be surrounded by items she has given us and lovingly crafted throughout the years. She is so very missed (beyond what I could have imagined!) and I hope that where ever she is now she is happy and creating and LIVING like she has always done. WE LOVE YOU!
