I was very young when she died but I don´t remember most of it but the videos I´ve seen of her and heard of her she seemed like a really nice grandma and she sadly died on my b-day

Seeing all these comments and good things said about my Nana, I realize how many lives she has changed. She was the one thing that held the family together. And now that she's gone, I'm sort of feeling like our family's falling apart.

Whenever I was sad,She was there to turn my frown upside down.When ever I fell she gave me the courage to get back up and try again.Now I'm sitting here waiting and waiting and waiting for her to come back.

Mike,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I have never had the pleasure of meeting you or your lovely wife, but have heard many wonderful words of you both from your loving mom & sister who I adore so much. I have had the pleasure of being a part of your sister's life for many years which of course with her came your wonderful loving mom. As I told your mom and sister God blessed you with some wonderful years to be loved by this beautiful woman and know it was apparently time for God to bless her with a set of beautiful wings in which she well deserved. She will be awaiting us one day at those beautiful pearly gates that the bible speaks of with those beautiful wings and a smile with no pain. May God be with you and your family during this time.
