You were taken too soon and have left a gaping hole in many hearts. I have never met anyone else like you, you were so beautiful inside and out. It was a blessing just to have known you, Marcus was SO lucky to have you as his "nanny". No matter what was ever happening between RJ and I, you always loved me like family and that is something I will never forget. We will always keep you in our hearts and send you our hugs and kisses in our prayers..I don't think I will ever be able to hear your favorite song again without crying, but I can't wait for us to meet again "over the rainbow" <3 I love you Nanna, you deserve the brightest halo and most beautiful wings. xoxo <3
