I want to extend my deepest sympathy. I had the priviledge of knowing and spending lots of time with Nanny. She was a very loving woman who always treated me like her own grandchild. I feel very blessed having her impression on my life as i am sure you all feel the same way. She was an amazing mother, grandmother, friend & christian. She will be greatly missed. I am here if you need anything & we will pray for peace & comfort for your family in the coming days. Love you all!! Lori & family
