:(

(pictured: Nannie, baby AJ, me and my mom)

Tonight my sweet Nannie went home to be with the Lord. She was just 1 month short of being 95. I wish many of you could have known her. She was a permanent fixture in my house growing up and a source of many funny stories and many, many, many life lesson learned. Death is bittersweet. I know that now she knows all again in heaven. AJ said it best when she said, " Its okay Mommy, she is still alive up there". Out of the mouths of Babes. So, I carry on. I carry on with her in my heart and with every imprint of how she lived as a guide. Please pray for safe travels of many family members coming home this weekend.

I'm sorry to hear about your Nanny. I know she was a very important person in your life. And, yes.. she did give many funny stories!
Praying for you and your family.
"Out of the mouths of Babes"--smart AJ!

Oh Larie, I had no idea that Nannie died. I have wonderful memories of her =(. Thinking of you (even if it is a little late)!!!
