Nana,
My best friend, my family, my love, every memory with you I cherish deeply. I will miss your laughter and the joy you brought all around you. I will miss the phone calls, the messages, and going out to dinner with you. My heart will forever be broken until I can see you again. You were truly a beautiful person inside and out. You were a once in a lifetime girl and I can´t wait until we are reunited. My heart aches but I know one day we will be together again. Yours truly Bri.

My heart is forever broken, a piece of me is gone with you. I will cherish each morning we watched the news and had coffee. I will miss you calling my name from the other room. The smell of you lingers in my home. I will carry a piece of you with me until I'm with you again. I know you are healthy, rejoiceful and at peace now. Mom I will forever LOVE YOU MORE!
