I will miss Nana very much, she was a beautiful and happy person who was a very big part of my life. If it weren't for Nana, I never would have tasted hot peppers at age 7 on my italian sub. My second grade principal, Mr. Hentz, knew Nana by her first name when she drove me to school. She would come with a box of donuts when she came to babysit us, never knew where they had come from, but they were the best, and she let us eat them in Paul's car on the way to school, which really was a "no-no". Nana inspired the "candy dish" in my household which will always be filled.

My heartfelt deepest sympathy to my mother, Uncle Jerry and Auntie Pat, Nana's memories will live on forever.

Love Trish and Charlie
