Last Christmas with Nana

How can I begin to describe someone as full of love as Nana was and how much of that love she showed me. I love Nana with all my heart and soul. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to share with her the last few years of her physical life. Grateful that I was given an opportunity to not just recognize the love she has showed me all my life, but the opportunity to give as much love back as I could in her last few years. I never want to forget the million times I played sick to get out of school and stay with Nana. How every time I went we did the same exact thing. We would eat chicken nuggets and french fires, and watch Robin Hood so many times that knew and could recite every word of that movie. I never want to forget staying the night and playing flashlight tag on the ceiling before bed. I never want to forget that she always called me "MGFH" or "My Gift From Heaven" and how much of a gift she was to me. I never want to forget all the joy she brought to my life over the years especially when I had trouble finding any. I love you Nana, My Gift In Heaven.

Dear Billy, Robert & Danielle,
What a special woman Auntie Kay was to so many of us. She so loved her son Billy and her beautiful Grandchildren.
I have many special memories of Auntie, a kind woman who took me in to live with her while I was in High school, boy did we have so many laughs and fun times together. (She made the best omlettes,)I was a sleepwalker, and Billy would tell me in the middle of the night, time to get up and go to school Karen, and Auntie would laugh and tell me go back to bed, they both had a good laugh. Oh so many memories...
I was so grateful, and I'll never forget all that she did for me. So kind and generous.
We really shared so much, she was great around young people, and you wanted to be around her, she made you laugh.
I know this is a very difficult time for all of you, it's so very hard to lose someone so special, so loved. But now she's up in heaven, smiling and at peace, there are no more hard times or pain. We were so blessed to have her in our lives. Her laughter was contagious, just so full of fun. God Bless you Auntie Kay may you rest in eternal peace.

Dear Billy, Bobby and Danielle,
Your Mother and Grandmother was a very special lady. My family was blessed to have gotten to know her better and create so many wonderful memories with her. She always talked so lovingly of her family and loved to share stories of her grandchildren. Just talking about them made her face shine. Auntie Kay was a pleasure to have around - she took joy in being around people, laughing and sharing herself. We will miss her.
You're in our prayers,
Brenda, Matt, Colleen, Patrick & James

Kay loved her grandchildren more than life itself and we were truly blessed to have been a part of her family. I am glad that Robert and Danielle had her for so many years even if we would have loved to have her for many more to come. She will be missed by those that of us that knew and loved her.
We miss you Kay.. Rest in peace.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
