For all the wonderful things you have been to me, I thank you. I have always viewed you as a pillar of strength for our entire family, young and old. You are the meaning of love, the meaning of life. You have always strived to be a witness for the good Lord above and through this, I have gained much knowledge and strength. I am so blessed to have had you as my nanny.
