I miss Nana so much but I am so glad to know she is in Heaven with Jesus and reunited with Papa. I thank God for blessing me with such a loving grandmother.

God granted me the most precious and loving Mother for 68 years. My heart is breaking but I know she is smiling because she has no more tears and no pain. She is in the arms of our Lord and Savior.
