You were always there for me, auntie. I will think of you often and miss you more. Your beautiful smile and quick wit will forever embed my memories. Your love for our family and especially for my uncle gave us all hope for everlasting happiness. So much fun, so much love. Rest in peace. You were so loved.

Nana you taught us so much. But you truly taught us how to love. Your true love showed in your eyes every time you looked at Papa. As his did when he looked at you. It just won't be the same without you but I will do my best to teach my children to love the way you and papa loved. My heart truly does ache for you. I love you Nana!
