Thank you to the family for such a nice service for Nana yesterday. I have fond memories of her at Dar's especially when all the kids were little and how they would tag team each other to get those pony tails just right and the singing with interesting lyrics.

Nana's loving and affectionate way seems to have impacted so many of us. She was so supportive to me when my kids were born; reassuring that I should follow my instincts.

Barbara did such a great job of the end of life care; never an easy task but done with tender love. Nana was very lucky to have such a caring family.

Many thanks again.

Cindy
