Nanny Vera Boyce
Oh what a star
So full of the spark of life
Gadding about near and far.

You were such an inspiration
To me through my life
Such vitality and strength
You must have been a great wife…

…as you were a mother
Grandmother and Great Grandmother too.
No matter how tough it got
There was nothing you wouldn´t try to do.

You used to like a little gamble
Remember those slot machines
You really got us kids hooked
Although it was probably in our genes.

And those lunch breaks I shared with you
Walking round ´The Tower´
Laughing at the tourists
Shame I only had an hour.

I´m so glad Anjuna knew you
And became your ´little friend´
She always talked of you with fondness
Right up to the end.

She told me the other day
How special she thinks you are
She said you´ll make a good Angel
And shine just like a star.

I´m so privileged to say
You were my Nan
I love you and I miss you
A truly ´Super Gran´.
