Although I never met her, I felt like I knew her so well through her grand-daughter Kim. Enjoyed hearing things about her, they were always so precious.

Missing my sweet Nana so very much, but what a comfort to know that she is in the presence of Jesus, and those who have gone before. She was the ultimate example of how a Christian woman should be. I will cherish the memories I have of this sweet lady forever. Loved her laugh, her singing, her love for the Lord, her love for her family and others, and her desire to see all come to Christ. Love you Nana!
