Condolence: I met Nanny when I was 12 years old and feel very blessed that she was a part of my life. She was a true inspiration to me and I will cherish our friendship forever. She will forever live in my heart! 💝 I love you Nanny!

Condolence: I am so thankful that I was able to consider Nanny to be a second grandmother. I will always cherish the relationship we had and will miss her whitty comebacks that could make anyone laugh. She will forever be with us. ❤️

Condolence: My Dearest Nanny,

For the first time in over 30 years, I did not get to give you a birthday card. I missed it by one day. I never forgot your birthday and was so proud when I could finally enclose a little something in the card. You always cherished this practice and knew you could count on me. Well, the fact is I and we all could always count on you. The world feels numb without you here but as my sister said so well, I am so thankful you are in Heaven with Big Daddy and that you were able to celebrate your birthday with him and the Lord you served so faithfully all these years. You are missed beyond words. I love you so much Nanny. Love always, your #5.

Condolence: My Dearest Nanny, I spent last night reading a stack of letters/cards I sent you as a little girl and beyond, as well as looking at hundreds of pictures of the two of us. It would be evident to anyone who read the letters or saw the pictures how much I loved you and how much you loved me. You've been there for me my whole life, and I know we have a special closeness since I lived with you most of my life till age 18. What a lucky girl I was to have known a love like yours and witness firsthand how much you loved God and your family and close friends, and to enjoy your laughter and zany antics. I have been so incredibly blessed to have had you as my grandmother for 55 years, and I have a deep void in my heart knowing you'll never be physically present again. Connor and Blake will never ever forget all their special times with you, and they are also heartbroken but holding their chin up and know how fortunate they were to have been a big part their great grandmother's life the past 20 years. I'd give anything for those 2 a.m. phone calls when you said you thought it was 2 p.m. and then you'd laugh at yourself and continue talking for an hour... sometimes made me think you just pretended to mistakenly call at the wrong time;) But what I wouldn't give for another talk or to hold your hand or go eat Mexican food or Spaghetti Warehouse like we used to do quite often and talk about anything and everything. It's going to be so tough without you, but we will be okay. You taught us to be strong. Knowing that you are happy and painfree and whole again and in Heaven watching over us gives me strength. You will always be in my heart and rest assured that you will never be forgotten, just like the history-making Hurricane Harvey that was going on as we watched over you. Then, with calmness and grace, just like you, the storm lessened in severity and briefly a ray of sunshine came through that day, the same day you exited this earth to go and join the Lord. I will love you forever and ever, Nanny. Until we meet again, your granddaughter Susan

Condolence: I was greatly blessed to have Nanny in my life. She was a true Lady, a true Christian Lady, and she taught me so much about how to love others.
Growing up next to Nanny was such fun. She really helped raise me, as I spent more than half of my childhood at Nanny and Big Daddy's house with their dear granddaughter Susan. I cherished the time I spent with Nanny. She loved me, fed me, sang to me, took me to the beach, and dressed up and scared me at Halloween. Such fun memories!!!
I appreciate Nanny's special friendship with my family over the years, especially with my Mother. Mother could always count on Nanny for anything!!! That was always very comforting to me.
Thank you Susan for sharing Nanny with me. What joy she added to our lives. We will be sharing stories about her for the rest of our lives!! I know how much you and your family will miss her. She loved you so much!!!
Love, with all my heart, Rhonda
