Darlene,
I am sorry to hear about Nana. I know what a special place she held in your heart. I will always remember when we went to the movies and she gave you $1.00 to get her popcorn and soda. I still remember all the times I shared with you and her. I hope you will remember her as I do my Grandma. Nana was a very special lady. With my deepest sympathy, Cheryl
