Nana

My Beautiful Nana passed away Tuesday May 13, 2014.

She was 94 years old.

She was an amazingly smart and beautiful woman. 

I would like to honor her by sharing some photos of her and her life.

 This was the photo from the last time I saw Nana at my cousins wedding June 1st 2014

 One of the many sleep overs I had with Nana, we painted our nails and took bubble baths and watched Dick Van Dyke, Golden Girls and Bewitched, she always made apple slices before bed. 1988?

This is us at our lake house. She loved being out side. 1990?

 This is the spray of flowers my mother sent for the funeral. She loved spring and loved flowers.
