She was so many things at once. A helper, a doer and a voracious reader of biographies. She was resolute and kind, a devoted wife, doting mother, cherished friend, a lover of the arts and of kindness. But to just 11 people, she was simply ‘Grandma’. And I got to be one of them.

A remarkable life (and lovely piece) - and I'm very sorry for your loss.
