Nanny...you are my hero. You taught me to trust in The Lord and to never give up fighting. Not once did you lose your faith while you were sick. You fought hard to be with us and the years we had with you I'll never forget. I will try to be as great of daughter, friend, wife, mother, and grandmother as you were. The day I see you again will be the happiest day of my life. I know until that day a piece of you is always with me. I love you Nanny!! To the moon and back, forever and always.
