We love you Nana

On July 2, 2008 a beautiful life passed through the fingers of this world and on to be with her heavenly father. An amazing woman who joined her 4 children and her husband who passed before her.

In her 88 years she was able to experience more than most women of her era could only dream of. She visited many countries, traveled all over the United States and cared so deeply for each of her children, grand children and great grand children. Up until the end she knew her loved ones and could call them by name. She slipped silently out of the pain of this world and into the glory of The Father in her sleep.

She left behind many who love her and who are still in awe at her amazing spirit, and the way she lived her life. She lived each day in true love of those around her. In the 12 years that I was blessed to know her I never heard her have a harsh word. She would sometimes call MA by his brothers name or call our children our names, but would always correct her self and smile as she reached out her thin frail hand for a hug. Always sure to tell you she loved you when you came in and when you left.

I still grin at the stories that have come out over the last 4 days. The fond memories that her family have of her and the strength and grace that she exhibited over the years of her amazing life.

Nana, we all miss you and we still love you.
