COOK, Aunty/Nanny Lou. 28.4.2018
We have had the honour and privilege to have Aunty/Nanny Lou in our whanau, we have lost our guiding light. Our very own guardian who’s guidance, support and love for us has never faulted. More than just a Nan and Aunty, but a woman who was dedicated to others, beautiful, graceful and dignified. Our loss is only softened, knowing you are in the arms of our loving Uncle Reg. Forever in our hearts, your Grant whanau.
