Chris, Amanda, and I are so sorry we won't be able to be with everyone this weekend.
Nancy was always very kind to me, and I will never forget how special she was.
Chris and Amanda have been talking about how they love how Grandma would sing silly songs. Amanda will miss school supply shopping with her.
