Nana's funeral


Patty did a wonderful job with all the details involved in having Nana laid to rest. She had her dressed in a beautiful pant suit, something I'm sure Nana would have approved of. Nana was very prim and proper. In my 22 years with this family I don't recall a single time that Nana was not dressed to the 9's. Though I had no idea just how beautiful Nana was as a young woman until I saw the pictures of her in her youth.

Nana could have easily been a model in her day. There were so many pictures from Nana's lifetime that were brought together for a memorial Power Point presentation done at the church for her service today. As I said in my previous post I should have taken the time to get to know this woman. It seems she lived a remarkable life. It's perhaps a bit late now but I plan to find out more about her and the life Patty had growing up. I found a few pictures of my own with Nana and I'd like to share them....

I seized the opportunity for a picture with Bob and I all dressed up. It doesn't happen much for either of us and I'm sorry it takes this type of thing to get him dressed up but here we are! Ain't we cute?




Yeah some say we are the odd couple and yet we are the perfect match. You got to admit it isn't easy having a marriage survive this long and heck for old folks we held up purdy dang good wouldn't ya say?
