    Love you and miss you Nan, I'm so glad you and Pop were such a big part of my life growing up, you were there when I got hurt (which was a lot) and always knew how to make it all better. So glad you and pop got to meet my wife and kids, just knowing you both were proud of me and are looking over us helps with the tears. Love you forever.

    A joy to be around. One of the few who knew the intimate life of the wild strawberry.
