Thoughts
I always remember going over to "Nana and Papa's" house with my sister when I was young. We would always adore their movie cabinet, I would play with their toy cars, and we would both take turns on their exercise bike and pedal as fast as we could. Despite these being my only memories of her with a memory, I enjoyed them and I still remember them to this day. In conclusion, my advice to you is enjoy what you had rather than mourning what you lacked.

Nana was the most genuine, nicest person you could ever meet. Whenever I saw her it would put an immediate smile on my face she would always hug me very tight and call me Bear Bear. I love how every Sunday when we go to church and then go to lunch a late lunch afterwards. There are no words to describe how much I will miss her and her hugs. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out, she's in a better place now with our Father in Heaven. I love you so much Nana.

Mom, Nana, friend. I could not have asked for a better example. I treasure so many years of happiness and I am honored to be called your daughter. You taught me how to cook how to love and how to be a mom. I am forever grateful for you and dad's true example of what a marriage should be. Your love for the Lord was amazing. Your love for your husband, your children, and your grandchildren, shine. Thank you for just being beautiful you. I love you mom. Until we see each other again.
