"My angel, our Nana. It?s a longggg story, as you never let me forget. Our shared indulgence in afternoon soap operas during our many summers together. Your nickname for me ?glue stick?. Your lasagna, a staple I will always strive to make to your standards. And of course we can?t eat cheesecake without comparing the texture, cake to crust ratio and cherry topping to yours. Welcomer of chickadees, scolder of squirrels. The first person (only person) I send pictures of bird newcomers to my yard. My pit stop nearly everyday when Max was a baby, your home always welcomed us. The joy your grand babies brought to you, so long as they ate in the kitchen and didn?t touch anything breakable. Your home and your essence, beautiful shiny things. A home that never let anyone leave hungry. A part of me leaves with you and although we all know ?getting old is for the birds? anyway. ?"

"Nana, I am blessed to be married to the wonderful son that you raised. You embraced me into your family when I was a wandering, lost teenager. Your home was where everyone in the family migrated back to for all of life?s occasions, whether it was to celebrate or to cry. We are questioning if we can carry on without you, but you taught us well. Your life was a demonstration of strength, endurance, caring and wisdom. I hope you are dancing with your sister, brothers, mom & dad to Dr. Zhivago accordion music. I?ve never had a special role or unique title I could assign to myself, but as I write this I realize I am privileged to have been your only daughter-in-law. I love you; rest in peace Nana. "
