This site is dedicated to the memory of Nannie Bill.
Nannie Bill was born Gladys Tufnell in Luton, Beds on July 31, 1920. The youngest of 9 children, growing up she was known to everyone as Cilla. But to most of us she was Nannie Bill. She is much loved and will always be remembered by all her friends and family.
BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;
For part of us went with you the day God called you Home
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide
And though we can not see you, you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Thoughts
To our Auntie Cill: always interested in what was happening to all her family members, recounting tales to all of us; a good friend to Mavis; a caring Auntie to Christopher and Matthew. We remember her laugh and sense of humour: trying to put the wheelchair together for a trip to Looe, bumping over the cobbles and having an ice cream; turning the pansies round in the garden cause she had planted them 'the wrong way round'; making smoke circles for Christopher; playing clock patience with Matthew; asking who Alan was and saying he's nice! And many many more. May she and Mary be up to mischief together again.
