To our beloved Granny Chicken, Oh, what a lady! You were gracious and strong, and taught us all about being kind & always seeing the good in people - values that you and Grandad John will live on through as you walk beside us. We know that you and Grandad are having a cuppa right now, with Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress playing in the background, looking over the gardens planning when to put the beans in, telling Grandad no good comes of seafood and there is such a thing as too many chicken nibbles - happy to be with your soulmate again. “Granny Chicken, I loved your kindness” – from Ruby “Granny Chicken, I loved your cuddles” – from Daisy Granny Chicken, we love you and will miss you terribly. Until we meet again. Love, Rachel, Ruby & Daisy

If flowers grow in heaven, Then pick a bunch for me. Then place them in my Grannys arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her For awhile. Granny, you have played your 'last card', I hope you have a deck ready to play when we meet again Love your Chicken x
