Tributes

Nana was truly a bright light in my life. Her kindness, smile and attitude made everyone around her happy. She had a great sense of humour and always made everyone around her smile. I will always remember her love of country music and her affection. She was one of the most loving people I have ever known that made you feel truly loved and blessed to have her in your life. I know that she is now in peace and her family will miss her forever. With much love from Mike for someone with a life well lived.
