There are too many memories that come to mind when I think of Nan. From weekends at the shore, playing in the ocean to playing mini golf on only courses she could win on, to sleepovers and all the family gatherings. We were so lucky to have such an amazing grandmother that was such a huge part of our lives. I miss you so much Nan, I know you'll watch over all of us. We love you so much.
Love always,
Kourtenay
