Nana - thank you for sharing so much with me - I am so very blessed to have been able to grow up with you. I would not be the same person had I not grown up with you in the same house, our rooms across form one another. Thank you for not telling mom and dad I use to take your car in the middle of the night, and I always made sure I put gas in it. I am so greatful my girls were able to spend time with you. Your laughter will forever be a comforting memory in my mind - one that will always make me smile. I miss you but I know you are with other family memebrs now. Forever and always, my love to you. Lynda.
