LYNN, LEROY AND FAMILY. I'VE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY. MY HEART WAS DEEPLY SADDEN TO HEAR OF NANO'S PASING.FOR NANO HAS BEEN A "ROCK IN THE DOSWELL COMMUNITY FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBR. SHE WAS A MOTHER TO MANY, AND ALWAYS HAD AN INSPIRATONAL WORD TO OFFER. SHE WOULD FEED YOU IF YOU WERE HUNGRY, CONSOLE YOU IF YOU WERE DOWN, AND OH BY THE WAY, SHE HAD A VERY WHITTY SINCE OF HUMOR. FAMILY, MY EXTEND FAMILY, I CAN'T SAY I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, BUT I CAN SAY I'VE BEEN THERE. "NANO" RAN A GOOD RACE FOR 97 LONG YEARS, SHE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, AND ON FRIDAY GOD SAY WELL THY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, I CAN SEE YOU ARE GETTING TIRED, COME ON HOME AND GET YOUR REST, FOR FAMILY WE ALL LOVED NANO BUT GOD LOVED HER BEST.
STAY STRONG FAMILY.
