Nana was the heart of our family, a woman whose kindness and loyalty were unmatched. She had a deep and unwavering love for each of her grandkids and great-grandkids, finding pure joy in watching us grow and celebrating our achievements. She never missed an opportunity to gather us together, filling our family gatherings with laughter, stories, and warmth. Nana was honest, a woman of her word, and someone we all could trust completely. She had strong faith and love for Jehovah God. She taught us the value of integrity and kindness, leading by example in every small and big way. Music was her lifelong love, always playing softly in the background or filling the air with songs that lifted her spirits. She would often sing or hum along, a small but meaningful reminder of the simple joys she cherished. Her home was a place of comfort, where the sound of her music and the smell of her cooking blended together in a symphony of love. Nana had an incredible way of making everyone feel seen and loved, no matter how big our family grew. Her presence was a steady anchor, a constant reminder of love, strength, and family values. Losing her leaves an emptiness in our hearts, but her legacy lives on in every memory, every song, and every lesson she taught us.
