Nanny, you were one of the most special people in all our lives. You had the kind of glow about you that everyone wanted to be around you, and everyone felt a little lighter after their time with you. May you rest easy knowing that your nonjudgmental, compassionate and fun spirt will live on through all the hearts and souls that were lucky enough to be a part of your life. You will be missed by all of us greatly and we will be happy to know that you're watching over us. I love you so much. Rest in peace.
