In addition to all the wonderful descriptions in her obituary, Nana was a one-of-a kind grandmother and I am so much of who I am today because of her. My love and sympathy goes out to her entire family, extended family and friends whose lives she touched. I am sorry I cannot be there with you today to honor Nana and celebrate her extraodinary life.
