I will never fully be able to put into words the impact this beautiful woman had on my life. Not only did we have the gift of having her on this earth for 101 years, she lived with my family for most of my childhood. We all had so much wisdom imparted and laughter ignited by her throughout the years. But, most impactful, was my front row seat to see how she loved God and loved on people-without hesitation-and, with all of her heart. I will carry that with me for the rest of my life. Until we meet again, I love you “more than mucho”…

She nearly made it to 102, but sadly we had to say goodbye to my Nana yesterday. I consider it an absolute gift to have been able to get 47 years with my grandmother. She was always up for having fun or being silly, and I loved making her laugh. Probably my favorite memories were of staying up late during summers down The Cape, playing Scrabble with her and my Mom. Love you, Nana. More than mucho.
