My grandma was a every unique person so full of life but could hold a grudge :). She was born a twin conjoined at the head. My grandma's twin passed away at birth and her mother Elizabeth Glover nee Weston died 2 hours later in Paddington hospital. From the very start she had to fight to survive. Her aunt Violet Pickard nee Glover stole my grandma from the hospital where she hid my ma in the fire place with the couch moved to block the fire place so you couldn't see in for 3 days until her husband William Pickard finally realised that the noise coming from the fire place wasn't a kitten like Violet was saying it was but was in fact my grand ma. William fell in love with my grandma and they both decided to raise her as their own. My grandma didn't know much about her biological side but adored her adoptive parents. Grandma went on to meet my grandfather who knew that ma was the one for him even if ma didn't think so straight away :) but ma ended up falling in love with my pa and they got married and had 3 kids. My ma moved with the pa and the 2 oldest children William and Victoria from canberra to coolengatta where they had a few different business. This is also where they had their last daughter Jacqueline. Ma with pa and Jacki moved from coolengatta to Grantham so Jackii could complete uni. That's where ma stayed helping anyone she could. Helping any animal she could. She had her girls (chooks) and her maggots (magpies) and all the other sort of animals that would be injured and was in need of help. At the time of her death my mum Vicki was by her side. She is dearly loved and missed by HUSBAND jack collier CHILDREN Bill Vicki Jacki GRAND CHILDREN Carmen Katrisse Warren Erin John Cobey Ellie Holly Jayce GREAT GRAND KIDS Trey Ruby Misty Abbey Locky Violet Bianca
