Nannie,

You will be so missed. I am so glad I had the chance to see you a few days before you went to be with Carson.
I have so many great memories of you. We would always make orange jello and had to eat it all. You taught me how to play spinner. I wasn't good at all. But, you would make sure either I won or my brother. You also taught me how to sew. I still can't believe you are gone. It feels like yesterday we were cooking and swinging in the backyard.
Please give Carson the biggest hug for me. I know he will be in great hands with you to watch over him. I love you and miss you so much!!!

Love Your Great Granddaughter,
Amber Gurganus
