My Nana will always be the most influential woman in my life. Her doors were always open and nobody ever left her home hungry. I will be eternally greatful for the amazing relationship we had. One of my most cherished memories will always be playing scrabble with her. Even on school nights she would let me stay up to challange her one more time. My heart will carry her memory for the rest of my life. She once asked me to look at things twice, once for me and once for her. So when I see something beautiful and undescribable, I will look at it twice, once for me and once for her too.

One Thousand to you,
Lucy Marie Creel
