I am so saddened by the loss of Nana. My thoughts are with you and pray that your memories with Nana stay as vivid as she was. She had a way of becoming like family, and I will miss her so. I will always remember her at church...being able to sit next to her and share a laugh or cry during the services. I will remember how her impromtu drop ins at my house would brighten an evening. I will remember her joy in holding my Riley. You are a blessed family to have such a wonderful Mom.
Love you all.
