Melissa and Poppa Sam, my heart is very heavy and my eyes filled with tears right now. The good memories (and there are lots of them) of Nannie will remain with me forever. May God comfort you at this very difficult time. Well written tribute/obituary was written. She was loved by many, and will be missed. Love you, I will keep you in prayer.
