Through the years we have shared many memories. We have danced, laughed,and cried together. You were there for me through all the special moments in my life.

I know you are watching over our family, and making sure we are safe. That is what is helping me through this tough time. I love you nana, and I will miss you very much.

Dear George, Robin, Heather, and Heidi (and your families),

We are so sorry for your loss. Nana Kretzler had such a strong spirit and she will always be remembered in our hearts. We pray that you find strength and peace during this time. Here is a poem we would like to share with you that helped us find comfort during our loss, we hope you do to.

God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be;
So He wrapped his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to me".

A loving heart stopped beating,
Working hands laid to rest;
God took you to prove to us,
He only takes the Best.

We love you. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely, Samantha (Bianchini) DePriest and family
