She was my grandmother whom i loved very much. She called me her sissy. She was proud of me no matter what silly thing i was doing at the moment and she had faith in me. Now she has a great granddaughter who has alot of her features that she passed down to me. Her long fingers and her oval face. I miss her so and the world will never be the same without such a caring person as my grandmother Nannie. I love you Nannie and i hope i am doing as good of a job with my daughter as you did with me.
