I only had the privilege of spending time with "Nana" three times - Thanksgiving at the ranch in 2019, treating her to lunch at the Butterchurn, and at her 90th birthday party. She was incredibly kind. She was very much that sweet grandma running around making sure we were all well fed insisting on to-go baggies with leftovers. Gerry (her grandson) and I got surprise holiday cards in the mail and spontaneous phone calls ending in "I love you." We will miss that. She was certainly the family matriach, beautiful, strong and sharp. My sincerest condolences to all her family and those who were lucky enough to be close to her. Sending you all loving vibes from Corpus Christi, Texas. Gerry and Sam
