Not sure what to say?

I am so thankful that I got spend some time with Grandma Nan in the last year. She is such an example of a life well lived! She loved and trusted God and shared that love with everyone. There was a sweet peace in her room even in her last day as beautiful hymns played and the desire of her heart to go home to be with Jesus was fulfilled. She has left a lasting imprint in my heart! Love and prayers, George and Tracey Johnson

What a blessing to have known such a sweet and loving lady. I was born on her birthday and we always called each other our Birthday buddy. I have missed her since she moved and now I can look forward to seeing her in heaven. What a grand lady. Lovingly Sandy

Loved her strawberry rhubarb pie! What a reunion in heaven with Jesus, Uncle Glen, Jane and Bernie! Praying for you all Sharon, Larry, and all your family and Jane and Bernie's boys and families....she left a legacy of love and caring! Love and prayers....Neil and Bev

Naomi was a true blessing from God for all who had the great pleasure of knowing her. She was my Mentor. I had the great honor of caring for her for over a year while she lived in Alterra Assisted Livings. People could see JESUS shining though her smiling face. I will never forget her!!!!

We came to Riverside in 1954 and met Nan and Glen at that time. I remember Nan as always being friendly and a blessing to us. She is truly a role model for me.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I still remember staying with Nan as a 5 year old before school and the care and love that she showed me.
Love Scott Anderson

She left us such great experiences & memories. I am sure glad I got to see her last summer. We will miss her.

Our prayers are with you, her family, as you are the ones who will miss her. May you find peace in knowing she is rejoicing and happily waiting for the day when you will be reunited with her in that land that is fairer than day.
