Thank you for the gift of love
now you're sharing it up above.
You had many things to say
All in such a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone
No matter what they had done.
We could always lean on you
to give advice on what to do.
I know your place in heaven has the BEST view
Now you and God can keep a
watchful eye on a few
Nanny, you will always be in my heart and mind
And I will never forget you, cause you're one of a kind !!!!!!!!
I love you
your granddaughter............. Tina
