Nanny, there are no words to express how much you and daddy are missed. I know that you are enjoying being present with the Lord, and I know that you continue to shine down upon us all. You will never be forgotten. I will always keep your memory alive! Love you beyond this life, Princess!

Hey Nanny, I can truly say that you're not forgotten! I see and utilize all the things you showed and taught me daily. I'm so thankful for all you passed on to me by example. By the way your dressing recipe is still of biggest success every Thanksgiving. I'm glad you took the time to teach me how to make it. I love and miss you and daddy more than I could ever express. The two of you loved and believed in me when no one else did. I hope I've made you proud. I'll cherish you in my heart forever Love Princess
