Dearest Nana Fran,
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful childhood memories you created for my brother and I.
Thank you so much for all of your kindness, for always making me feel special and loved. Thank you for all of the time you invested in me. It kills me to think of how I waited too long to tell you how much your time meant to me.
I'll never forget you, My Nana.
Please help God to watch over us all and bring some peace to Auntie Bev, Selma, Des & Nicolette.
