Not sure what to say?

Nana,

It has been over a year and I very much miss your smile and candid conversation. My faith has helped greatly and I thank you for your example. I trust your spirit is in heaven.

A message from the English branch of the family:

We were all deeply saddened at Frankie’s death as we feel that we have lost not only a wonderful aunt but also the kindest and most loveable of the 5 Hassan sisters. Frankie’s wonderful, sometimes ‘laid back’ approach to life was a delight and her love and devotion to her immediate and extended family was legendary. We all loved visiting her at number 1512, albeit that life there was sometimes a little chaotic! Her alas infrequent...

Its with heartfelt sympothy that I learn of the passing of my dear friend and your mom. I want the family to know that I too only have fond memories of Mrs. Clink. She and I enjoyed some good conversations over the pass 20+ years and I too am going to miss her deeply.

Ms. Clink, my Dear Ms. Clink I know you are in heaven now with our Lord and Savior JesusChrist resting with Him and living the wonderful eternal life He's promised us, I will miss you much but I know I will see you again to laugh and enjoy our long conversations in heaven, you are one of the greatest persons I've ever met, I am happy and grateful I've had the chance to meet you and be friends for all these last 8 years, GOD always bless you, with love, Gladys.

Although everyone knew her as "Frankie", to me she was "Nana". Her sweet and loving nature is the best reminder of how to treat others. Her giving spirit is the best reminder of how to treat others. She taught me many things, although I had never told her of this. I fell so blessed to have had such a wonderful grandmother. I returned to Church (Catholic) after almost 15 years because of her prayers for me. I hope to speak with such kindness and be as giving as her in the days ahead and...

Cooty was - is, because she now she is enjoying an eternity of happiness - my dearest aunt, and my friend. She was an irrepressible mixture of love and laughter, sympthy and understanding, forgiveness and optimism.

I think the secret of her strength was her deep faith: she was indomitable. She had deep devotion to certain intercessors, and would promise, sometimes much to the amusement of others, to "light a candle and say some prayers" for whatever her listener was concerned...

I think what I will remember the most, are the days in the garden listening to your mom's stories - and of course never beeing able to call Lucy at her house without first having a very lengthy conversation with "Mom". She was always such a part of everyone's lives. I'm sure she will be deeply missed, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family.

The following poem gave me great compfort when my mom died, and I hope it will for you as well.

"Do not stand at...

I've heard so many wonderful stories about Francesca and I just wish I had known her better. I do know her 2 wonderful daughters Melissa and Lucy and her granddaughter Tiffany. She must have been a great lady to have raised such wonderful people!
