To my loving Grandmother, not a day will go by that I won't miss you, remember your laugh, and see the forever smile in your eyes. I love you always

This photo, with her joyful smile, exemplifies the warm, bubbly woman I have known as Aunt Nancy. She lived her life with grace and generosity, and with an open heart that welcomed all. This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson jumps to mind when I think of Aunt Nancy, “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

My condolences to Pam and her family on the passing of her mother. My hope is that somehow they find solace in her memory and are able once again to move through these sad times.
