I will miss you dear Nano. You will always be a huge part of my life and all of your grand and great grand babies lives. We will never forget all the stories, back scratches and games we used to play. Those are the memories I will pass to my babies and grand babies and so on. I said Good Bye for Now but Not Forever. I lOVE YOU NANO and can't wait to see you again.

To my family and friends of Nano, I just wanted to tell all of you how much Nano meant to me. I cant stop thinking about her for five minutes.
I am so saddened by her passing that I weep all day.Nano touched my life in so many different ways,and was always there for me no matter what.I find myself looking at home videos so I can see her and hear her
beautiful voice.I only wish that I could have spent more time with her in the late days of her life.I will always have vivid memories of the wonderful times we shared together as a family. Nano never hurt my feelings and did everything in her power to comfort and love us all.Nano made a huge impact on my life and I will think of her everyday for the rest of mine.I so dearly wish I could pick up the phone and hear her voice.I hope that one day I could be half the grandparent that she was. I LOVE YOU
NANO.I know I will see you again someday.I will never forget you.

To the Family of Frances -
I just want you to know that you are in my Prayers and I was saddened to read that she had passed away - I live at Cathedral Towers and also worked for a time in the Library here with Frances -she was always so sweet and kind, never said anything negative about other people - she was "Truly" a WONDERFUL Lady - we had many talks together in the Library here at Cathedral Towers and she was also a lot of fun and seemed so much younger than she was - she was young in her thoughts and opinions as well as her "Heart", she always had a smile for anyone she encountered and was greatly missed when she moved - PLEASE, do not ever forget that she is not really gone from you because, she will "FOREVER LIVE IN YOUR HEARTS", as you remember how much she cared, shared of herself and brought happiness to you - Sincerely, Amy Aldredge
