Mum you are the meaning of unconditional love and you are the most strongest and resilient woman i know. The many laughs I will treasure in my memory. You were always there for me and I could always count on you. I will forever miss you and you will always be in my heart and my thoughts. The secrets that we kept, like when you went for your license and your swimming lessons. I will miss our cups of tea and our chats
Rest in peace Mum

A shining star has left our lives, but her light will never fade.
Dear Nan, I feel so blessed to have had you in my life. Your kindness, humor, and love were a constant source of joy and inspiration. Memories of our time together are etched in my heart forever - from lazy days in the garden, to cooking up a storm on the wood stove when I was young, to the handmade cards that made every birthday special.
Even in difficult times, like lockdown, your selflessness shone through. You worried about us, not yourself, and went out of your way to make sure we knew you were okay. Your love and care knew no bounds.
You may be gone, but your legacy lives on in our hearts. We miss you more than words can express, but we take comfort in the knowledge that you are now at peace.
Thank you, dear Nan, for being a rock, a confidante, and a friend to all. I will cherish every moment we shared and strive to make you proud. Rest in peace love and laughter.

Our Nanny Harrison cherished presence in my life for 48 years. I am grateful for the privilege of having my children grow up with you in their lives. I deeply miss your wonderful sense of humour and our cherished shopping trips followed by delightful lunch dates.
We always loved receiving a Nanny handmade card for our birthdays and those beautiful random text messages whilst traveling before your eyesight deteriorated. I may have bragged a lot about this, but It always brought a smile to my face and amazed people how you could use technology so adeptly.
Nanny you were a truly amazing person and will be sadly missed, our one true hope is that you are nice and warm to the tip of your nose.
Love always and forever Your Granddaughter Joanne, Grandson in law/ring-in Cambell, Great Grandchildren Tamika, Kurtis, and AdysonJune 27, 2024 12:37 pm

Aunty Jean. We were so blessed to have met you especially living so far away in the uk. Memories that will last forever. Hope you catch up with your little brother (Keith Swapp) up there and make a fuss of him like you used to when you were children. Love always to all the family you have left behind.

Mum I've looked up to you all my life;
growing up, I assumed you could
do most anything.
The pride I have in you goes beyond
all the things you have done.
I'm proud of the person
You've always been-
Kind, caring, dependable, and wise.
So now I am the one who is bragging because,
Mum, you make me so proud!
Love your daughter Bernadette and son inlaw RobertJune 26, 2024 2:59 pm
You inspired me to write a song called Lucky Me. I will always think of you when I sing it. Lucky me I never did grow old. My years are four times fold what they should be. Lucky me. A When I wake up each day I just have to say. Hey Lucky me !
