My sweet Nana went to heaven last week. She was a wonderful Godly example to me and many other people. She was beautiful inside and out. I was able to go the the funeral and spend time with my family. As I was going through old pictures while at her house I was amazed at how many people she new and prayed for. It was a great time of remembering Nana, as the whole family gathered to celebrate her life, I truly believe she would have been pleased to see us all together. Finding little notes she had written, she expressed her love for her family, and Especially her Lord and Savior!!

One of Nana's favorite verse was
Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."

Although I've only met her on a couple occasions, I feel like I know her since your mom often referred to her in Bible study. Very thankful that you were able to spend time with family remembering and celebrating. She has left an amazing legacy of God's faithfulness and love.
Thank you Crystal, she did leave an incredible legacy! I will miss her dearly.
