Nan and Mary....time just went by too fast and we did not know about Nancy's passing. She was my Texas mother in law for over 20 years and to my children, Grandma Gaffney. We were so blessed to have her in our life.

Nan & Mary, I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was always the sweetest, kindest woman to all of us even when we were all being stinky little kids. I'm guessing she and Mom are having a wonderful conversation catching up now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
