  15. An angel now in heaven, who has left is with treasured memories, and love in our hearts.

    Blessed to have you as my Nanna. Thank you for all those little things you did for us all and enduring impact you will forever have on my life. The walks around the garden at Hearn St discussing the flowers inspired my love of gardening; the admiration I held for you as you did your crosswords reinforced the importance education and keeping our minds active, undoubtedly bared influence on me becoming a teacher; and those memories of all your wonderful home cooking will stay with me forever.

    You were our matriarch, the foundation, and the core of the family, offering us all unconditional love. The family coming together for Christmas at Torquay, and the amazing Johnson Family Afternoon Teas, you always busy and happy to be surround by us, will be an enduring memory for us all.

    Rest In Peace.

    Your loving grandson, Brad.
