    My Nana was an angle sent down to Earth to bless many people’s life’s. She was truly the most generous woman with the biggest purest heart. Many people life’s have changed this day for Jesus has truly taken an angle away from us. My heart will forever ache for you to be here; my soul will never feel the same. The idea that you’re gone forever is unbearable. I’ll forever remember being 9 years old and you rocking me back an forth in your chair and telling me no matter how big I get you’ll always be there to rock me and tell me how much you love me. You are truly the only person I have ever loved so deeply and who has always loved me for me. I love you Nana forever and always and you’ll always live on in many peoples hearts. ~your first great granddaughter Magan
