    Nan, I’m gonna miss you every day of the rest of my life. You were such an amazing woman, and such a kind and gentle person. I can’t stop thinking about all of the amazing memories that we’ve had together. From playing volleyball in the pool, to you making tortellini just for me, to you telling me all about your casino trips. I wish so badly that I could just sit with you one last time and laugh and tease each other. I can’t even put into words about much I miss you. We always expect to have more time with each other until we don’t. I love you Nan.
