To the family my sincere condolences. Nana was a beam of light and a sweet lady. I only knew her for a short time at the Legacy. I played the organ for the church service which she attended regularly twice a month on Thursday evenings. She was beautiful inside and out. I will miss her.

Diana & Family, Your mom was such a sweet, loving and warm lady. And amazing also. She always had a smile and a happy hello whenever I saw her at the Legacy when visiting my Mom there.
May the memories you have of all the wonderful times you shared with her help you through the days ahead.
With sympathy.
