NANA


This past week has been a tough one to say the least. My dear sweet Nana passed away at 5:20 am on Tuesday January 13, 2009.
My Nana was such a strong woman who was a good example. She was a strong member of the church and a loving caring woman.
Here are a few memories I would like to share with everyone.

Nana was always kind. She would help everyone and anyone. Whenever my mom needed help Nana was the first to help her. When I had questions about the church she was a phone call away. My uncle shared his last time spent with her and it shows just how giving she really was. He went to go visit her on sat. in the hospital and could hear her yelling and when he got to her she said get me out of here. He got the nurse and they made her comfy and after a while he took her on a ride toward the end of a ride in her wheelchair they stopped in the movie room of the hospital. Ryan saw a woman the was crying and went over to her, she wanted to be takin back to her room so he did so. When he got back Nana asked him who she was and what was wrong. Ryan told Nana her name was virgina and that he did not know why she was sad. So Nana insisted he take her to Virginia's room and there Nana befriended this woman. Nana even in her last day was christ like and was doing for others. She always thought of others before her self.

My last memory with my Nana was at my sealing to Shawn. What a great last memory to have. She is the only woman in my family that was worthy to enter the temple and be with me on the most special day. She sat to my right and held my hand before I went to the alter and knelt with Shawn. She has been a great example to me and how I am supposed to live my life as a woman of christ, a daughter of God. She never once questioned the Church or ever questioned her faith. She is where i must get it from. I hope that I can live to be like my Nana.

Another thing that I look up to Nana on is her faithful love to my grandfather. He past about 30 years ago and she was always in love with him. She never remarried and always loved him. Im so glad I have found Shawn and that I to can have that. Thanks goodness for people like her!
