To tell you the truth I had a hard time putting all nannies' good traits into writing. No matter how hard I try, I can never do justice to what she overcame in her lifetime. I know we are all grieving today for we all lost a great lady. But I know wherever she is now she's happy and contented with what she left us. She was a mother, grandmother and a friend to all of us. I'm sure each and every one of you here today has something to share on how Nanny touched your life. We all shared a lot of good memories with Nanny(I think I was the only one that could get Nanny to blush). Nanny was the kind of person that would think about other people before herself. She never liked asking for help but she was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. She would do everything in her power to help other people. Although she never got the chance, I think in her own way she was able to show us how important we all were to her. We may no longer see her but we'll always have these special moments we shared with her. She will always have a special place in our hearts. Let's just be thankful that we knew a special lady like Nanny. Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journey, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay… Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know. For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, We'll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the lord
