Tribute to Nana







Harvey with Nana




funeral


Nana's funeral



Nana with all her grand kidsNana and her sisters

This was one of the most amazing women you will ever meet. She was the greatest grandmother in the world and loved her grand kids more than anything. I don't think a day went by growing up that we were not at Nana's. We loved cruising town with her as she would blast El Vira. Many days of playing, chocolate milk bottles, and being spoiled to no end with Nana. Papa always said he would love to be reincarnated as one of Nana's grad kids. Harvey and Colten loved her dearly. She was always one of the first people we would go see when ever we would come to St. Johns. Harvey especially had a closeness to her. They would talk once or twice a week on the phone. He loved to play her in crazy eights. She was one of my best friends and always the one no matter what was going on that would give you a smile and make you feel great. She was an amazing example of someone who lived in so much pain for so many years yet never complained and always had a smile she definitely was an amazing example of enduring to the end. She lived to serve others especially her husband and her family. So very selfless. I will greatly miss her!

She was an amazing woman! I am so glad I got to be in their ward growing up (she was my sunday school teacher at one point). What a sweet person.

Amen! She was a woman I looked up to, as well. I feel blessed to have her granddaughter as my daughter-in-law. What an example of one who truly endured to the end! The pictures show best what our true legacy is.......our children and grandchildren. Love you.

Will you call me on the magic jack?
