Sebrina Buttimer said: "My nana and granddad Dave and Dianne Lee are the most selfless people I have ever known. They are always looking out for other people and always there to give a helping hand. My nana and granddad are my inspirations in my life and they have done a lot for me growing up. I love them both very much and they are the best. They are also the best great grandparents to my little girls." Photo: Sebrina Buttimer
