I really didn't know Nan that much but I felt like I did with all the good stories I've heard on how she was the best grandmother ever had. Every story I've heard about Nan was always one in which she was a great woman with a loving heart. Nan's family is lucky to have had her in their lives to make them aware on what a close and loving family is about so they can carry it down to their own. I hope the family carry and share their happy memories forever.
