NANA,
YOU MEANT THE WORLD TO ME AND ALWAYS WILL!! YOU WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, INFLUENTIAL, LOVING, WARM HEARTED, KINDEST, GENEROUS, INDEPENDENT, STRONGEST WOMAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY HERO!

YOU WERE LIKE MY 2ND MOTHER. I WOULD NOT BE THE PERSON I AM TODAY WITHOUT YOU. YOU TAUGHT ME THE MEANING OF RESPECT AND DIGNITY AND ALWAYS TO TREAT OTHERS AS I WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL AS WELL AS HOW TO BE CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING CONSIDERABLE STRESS, HARDSHIPS AND TRAGEDIES. YOU ALWAYS REMAINED POSITIVE AND TAUGHT ME TO DO SO.

YOU LIVED A GREAT LIFE AND WERE LOVED AND RESPECTED BY EVERYONE WHO KNEW YOU. YOU HAD SO MANY GREAT CHARACTERISTICS, IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER TO NAME THEM ALL. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED, EVEN IF I JUST NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO. YOU HAD A WAY OF ALWAYS MAKING ME FEEL BETTER AND CONSTANTLY REMINDED ME THAT YOU LOVED ME (AND ALWAYS WILL).
I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON..........

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH NANA. I MISS YOU TREMENDOUSLY ALREADY AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME! YOU ARE AT PEACE NOW AND ARE WITH ALL THOSE WE HAVE LOST ALREADY. THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU IN HEAVEN AND I AM SURE THEY ARE SO HAPPY TO BE REUNITED WITH YOU. I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY. UNTIL THEN, THERE WILL NOT BE A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT YOU ARE NOT IN MY THOUGHTS. I LOVE YOU!!!!
