In loving memory of my Great Nana.
I had such a wonderful time at your house this past Christmas and I was looking forward to doing it again and again in the years to come. After Christmas there were many times I told my Mommy and Daddy, "I go Great Nana's house," because I wanted to go back and have more fun with you (and see the kitty too).
You will be missed...I wish I would have had more time with you.

Lovely Pictures and our thought and prayers go out to "Great Nana". The Dear Lord has lifted her from her bondage here on earth. She is united in Heaven with her family, friends and loved ones. God's shining light is making her glow as Heaven's newest soul. She will be missed and we heard that Tommy was actually almost leading the church services.
