With a heavy heart I say good bye to my Nanny. I will miss my happy birthday calls, calling her when I put up my christmas tree. Nanny was there when my children were born & my granddaughter. All going home in sweater sets she'd knit. Handmade ornaments still hang on my tree. The afghan she sent when I was 15 needing some mending but beautiful still - all these things and memories I'll treasure and Nanny, you'll be in my heart forever, I will miss you, Heather - Posted by: Heather Miller 604 725 4472 (grandaughter) on: Jun 15, 2014
