I know your hearts are broken, and I wish I had the magic words to take away all the pain. But I can only share in your pain and sorrow, and I can only say a prayer comfort and healing. Nana was a great woman, friend, adviser, and shoulder to cry on. She was always so happy taking care of everybody that it felt like she was everyone's mom. I admire her so much because she made being a mother look so easy. She was truly something else, and I will miss her so very much.
