Lynn, Nana was a very precious lady. Even though we did not know her very long she was very special to her family and Kelli really thought a lot of her also. She will greatly be missed but we have the memories that will always be with us. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Terry & Pam Whitfield (parents of Kelli Freeman)
