She and Gene were my neighbors in Everson. They were both warm and friendly, and demonstrated the love of Jesus in their lives. They were just the kind of neighbors one would want. My condolences to all who loved her

Nanny could right a book on this. I remember most the way she took care of me when I was sick. I sometimes thought she had lost it when she wanted to put a plastic back on me with arms. I did it and I was healthy the next day.
Can never forget the hours of gardening we spent together. I loved each one of them. The best meal served buy nanny after wards with a little joke to make me laugh.
Thank you for never giving up on this kid. I will see you again. I love you
