So sorry about Nana. I know you will miss her terribly. Take peace in knowing she is free from pain. Cherish your sweet memories. I know you have many.

Just think – when the Bible says absent from the body, present with the Lord – in the twinkling of an eye – it means that Nana is experiencing the glorious and wonderful presence of our Lord, the indescribable beauty of heaven and especially for her all the brilliance of the jewels and shining crowns and golden streets and pearly gates – I image one big menagerie of what-nots and shiny things in a curio cabinet. I LOVED watching her watch TV! She was “friends†with most of the news people. No doubt there will be an empty spot for a lot of us, but the memories are crowding out the dim, darkness of grief. God bless you Todd and Kelli for being her lifeline here on earth. Tony you were her idol and Shannon such a great caretaker. Your rewards and crowns will be great. Your mother, Linda, can now enjoy the laughter and kind-hearted nature of her mother once again.
