Claire Isabel Smith said: "My Gran and Granda Baillie were amazing. Watched us kids while our parents were working. My Grandas lungs were bad from the pits but he kept himself busy building us dolls houses and wooden toys. My granny was a beautiful knitter and baker and just an all round lovely mother figure to us all. A Granny Baillie cuddle was the best thing on Earth - you just sunk into her. Forever loved and missed."
