On the 3rd of July 2025 I lost my favourite person in the whole wide world, My Granny. Jenny Kennedy Brown Strachan.

The only person in the world I have never had a fall out with. The only human being to not judge me. My safe place growing up as a teenager and a young adult.

The bond that we had was so special.

Jenny was a person so full of light and happiness. A ray of absolute sunshine. One of the funniest people I have ever met. I could go on and on about my Gran’s good points but I would be here typing forever and a night.

The older I have got I have become so much of an introvert. I can still be an extrovert while on stage doing my job as a professional singer but the true me is very much a hermit who would rather spend all my time with animals. I have had so much trauma in my life that I find it very very hard to trust people and find comfort in the company of my dogs.

My gran was the only person that I have ever trusted 100%. I know that she is now an angel and that she is in heaven. I know that she is looking down on my beautiful animals and I.

I keep finding feathers everywhere I go since she died. A sign that she is close by.

I am so very proud of you gran for being such a patient and wonderful human being. I can only wish to be as amazing as you through the remainder of my life.

Love you so much
