Sandra Hall

My nana was the smartest person in every room she was in, and her mood would affect the mood of everyone around her. Nothing I can say will ever do her justice, but when she joked people laughed, when she spoke people listened, and when she argued people cowered. She showed me so much love and taught me so much, I'm only just now beginning to realise how much my views of the world were so utterly shaped by my experiences with my nana. Unfortunately, in her later years, which should have been spent enjoying retirement with her family, she suffered from dementia, which gradually robbed her of who she was. My nana was such an amazing woman that I can say with 100% confidence that this wasn't just her personal loss, or a loss to her family, but to everyone who has missed the opportunity to spend time with her. Selfishly I want my nana back, but I, and the rest of the family, know that she is now in a much more peaceful place, and even though the world is dimmer for her departure, her impression upon it will still grow just as brightly.

Sandra was like a second mother to me. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. A Wicked sense of humour and a font of all knowledge, I was very privileged to have known Sandra and have her in my life, it is certainly less full without her now, and the last few years she was ill. Rest well beautiful lady, all my love always xxx
