There will be a very large hole in all our lives without her.

Thankfully, she spent her life preparing us to be strong and to be able to go forward. Nana's smile will never he forgotten. She was full of grace and love for those around her. She loved everyone she met, and everyone loved her precious personality. Nana had a beautiful life, well lived, and now she is back with those she so dearly loves in heaven. We will now celebrate your life, our dear Nana.
