    My husband John and I send deepest sympathy to all of the family members who are feeling this Huge loss. While we didn’t know “Nana” personally, we knew of her through her Granddaughter Joan who spoke to us of her amazing inner strength and great determination to live out all of her days to the best of her ability. We cannot make the pain go away, but will both pray for all of you as you say goodbye and face all of the “firsts” to come. God Bless.
