What an amazing life to celebrate Nana Larby! She's left a legacy of kids, grand kids and great grand kids who will all get to know her through the many stories and memories we can all share with them! Let's hope they all love tramping as much as she did! Sending love to all the Larby family at this time. Love from great grandkids Tyla, Jase and Makeo in Gisborne xox
