Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear of your loss.  I’m so grateful that we got to visit with Nan when we were in town May of 2009.  She was always so good to my Daniel (her great-grandson).  Daniel will miss his "Little Grandma".

She will be missed dearly by all and will be forever in our hearts.

May your strength prevail to help you through this difficult time.

With deepest sympathies,
