TO My Nana....One of the most beautiful women in my life! Your beautiful blue eyes will sparkle in my heart forever. Thank you for being such a wonderful guide to me all of my life...your words of wisdom, encouragement and love for life and itself, helped me become the woman and loving mother that I am today...Every women needs a strong female role model and I am truly thankful that I had you as my role model...I could never thank you enough..although I know you would say do not thank me just LISTEN to me and things will be just fine! As my children grow I am beginning to finally understand all of the things that we talked about through the years...I often wonder HOW you did it! I could not even imagine having 11 children and giving them all your love every day NO MATTER what they SAID or DID! For that I truly hold you on the highest pedestal in my life...Right next to my mother of course...who has learned everything from you and taught those things to me...I truly love you NANA BANANA...I will miss you everyday...ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND MIND... POOKIE and Family P.S...I am sorry I can not make it to say goodbye...But I promise to come and visit you in the Summer!!! XOXOXO!
