For My Nannie-
You will be greatly missed, and I know that you are in Heaven with all the loved ones who have passed before you. I am going to miss all of the times we had together, but I am glad that I have the memories. I know that you are singing in Heaven with the hummingbirds that you love so much, and doing one of the things that you love most-quilting. I hope that you will look down every once in a while and check on me and the babies. Please visit me in my dreams soon. I love you dearly Nannie, and I am glad that you can continue your eternal life in Heaven with no suffering. Love Always, Chrissy
