Nana, watching you go through what you went through these past few months was a very difficult thing to do. Through it all you always had a smile. I will always cherish the memories like sleepover with your amazing french toast and so many more things. Thank you for being an amazing role model. I love you more then words can describe. Please give Nana Kopp a big hug and kiss for me. You will forever have a special place in my heart.

Aunt Patty was such a brave, special woman. She is one of the strongest people I know who fought with everything she had right until the very end. I'm so blessed to have been able to spend 4 months with her. She will forever be missed and in my heart. <3 Love you Aunt Patty
