Nana I came 2 tears the moment I found out. I'm so happy I got an opportunity to see you on Mother's Day, to feel your love even if only for a few minutes was a blessing. My heart aches but I had the great gift of having you as my Nana! You will be greatly missed but I will do my best to find peace knowing that you're no longer in pain & in a better place. Gigantic hugs & kisses!!! I love you Nana
