Everyone has many cherished memories with her, we can proudly say we’ve all got a little piece of her within us. Her smile made us smile harder, her laugh made us laugh harder. Nana was forever happy, smiling from the inside and out. She loved taking care of everyone when she could. If you ever had a bad dream we called nana, if one had an allergic reaction we called Nana...or advice even though we knew she always gave us the same answer, we called Nana. Our dearest Nana & Mom...we all wish we had more time with you, but will always value the time we did have. We love you our Indian “Star Watcher” Nana!
