My nana was so full of personality. such a caring and loving person. Beautiful and most certainly loved. I am already painfully missing her, But her granddaughter dreelon, her mother, brother, all her relatives and friends await her in heaven. I cannot talk to her anymore but she has them now in a much better place. The world is less special without her, but, I am lucky to have had her as a great mother.
