Nanny was a great woman that I always enjoyed talking to. She could always make me laugh and always told it like it was. I will miss her feisty spirit and I hope she's resting easy. I know she will watch over her family and help them through this hard time. Things won't be the same without her. Always and forever Old Nanny!!
