My Tribute To Nanny

Nanny passed away last Thursday, July 2nd. I really can't believe she's gone. She was an amazing woman and everybody who knew her loved her. She may have had an "old" body, but she was full of spunk and young at heart. She was a hoot and so much fun! We all could go on and on with hilarious stories about Nanny. My cousin Tiffany wrote 5or 6 amazing pages about Nanny...her life and our childhood memories of her. It was incredible and soooo Nanny. My cousin Carla read it at her funeral, and she did a great job. Tiffany made us all a copy of it and I will cherish it always. Nanny's funeral was perfect and I know she loved it. The Church was packed with all her family and friends. We cried and we laughed. We (all her children and grandchildren) sang a song that she taught us all when we were little. The title of it is "The Burgler Man" and she sang it to us our entire lives. She taught it to our children and I hope they teach it to their children and their children will teach it to their children and carry on Nanny's tradition. Alot of people that attended the funeral told me that it was great...if you can call a funeral great. One person even commented that it was the best funeral they had ever been to. Nanny was a fun person and her funeral truly was a celebration of her life. I've said this a million times and I will say it a million more...Nanny was the strongest woman I know and I hope that when I'm 88 I have half the spunk and strength that she had.

Nanny~I miss you so much and I love you with all my heart!
Love,
Your "Jenny"

Dang Aunt Jenn!!
I have been trying to pull myself together the last couple days since we have been home. You got me all tearin' up again!

You know, I told Mama...when everything settles down, we all return to our routines and it gets quiet....the reality of what we experienced this last week is really gonna hit us.
And it has me.

I sat last night in the quiet until 3 a.m.! Just thinking...
Reading devotionals, seeking scripture......
And I too pulled out what Tiffany had wrote. All 6 pages I read. And I laughed and it did bring me comfort. Tiff is a special person.

We will all miss her.
