Hi this is her #1 grandaughter as she used to call me, Amy Jill. All I can say is how sorry I am that I didn't get to see her while she was at up there and having so much fun doing things my nana never did. When she moved away, Tim and I had taken care of her after pop-pop died and she was a huge part of my life in ways just that she always called to check on me,,,I could tell her anything, things one probably could never tell their nana. Of course she always wanted to go out for dinner,lunch..she would get her hair done, and I would go next door and get my nails done. When she moved up with my aunt I knew the phone calls would not be as much of course, then you could never get her on the phone cause she was either in arts and crafts, when I found out she was going to services almost had a heart attack,,not my nana. Eisenberg did wonders for her, I wasn't able to get to see her in that element, but am very thankful my Aunt did and was able to see her in this new light and was now a big part of her life and my cousins. I will miss her very very much. I love you NaNa.
