My Nana

It has been one year ago that my Nana passed. She was my mom's mom. My Nana could tell you a story from her childhood growing up in New York that would make you laugh for days. Whenever we had family parties she would always bring deserts. Not just 1 or 2 deserts but a whole big brown serving tray of deserts. They were always delicious. Nana always told me that I looked like a Barbie Doll. She always made me feel loved. I think that the times I miss her most are when Abbie does something to make me smile. Nana would have been SO in love with Abbie. She loved her work and co-workers. They called her Pokey because she was a slow walker. She thought that was so funny. I can't remember a time when she wasn't dressed to the nines! She loved jewelery! She would always tell my mom and myself that we couldn't sell it at a garage sale for 25 cents after she died because it was from HSN or QVC and it had authentic crystals in it. She loved her family and would always tell us how proud she was of us.

I love you Nana. Thank you for giving me SO many wonderful memories.


This is my Nana as a young girl in New York. She was one of 4 girls. Roseanne, Mary Jane, My Nana, and Betty Lou.

This is my Nana and Grandpa before they got married. What a handsome couple!

This was from my Nana and Grandpa's wedding day. My mom has the wedding dress at her house and it is adorable in person. I wish I would have been small enough to wear it.

This is my Nana and Grandpa with my mom as a little girl. Nana ALWAYS had my mom dressed up like a little doll.

Here is a picture of my Nana and all her sisters
