One of my favorite things about you is how your laugh could light up the room, a soft and graceful laugh that once one hears they will never forget!! I admire your strength and thank you for bringing into the world one of the women I admire most and raising her to be generous, strong, honest, funny, and loving. I know my Mom is able to be women she is today because she learned from someone like you!! I also thank you for bringing dance into your family and letting it be such a huge and happy part of your life, you showed us all the magic of dance and made every dance floor and every party more fun for it!! May you dance through the Heavens and continue to laugh often so that when the world gets a little too quiet we can hear that familiar sound that will warm our hearts and make us smile!! Thank you for being such a wonderful grandmother and I know that Lisa and Shelby along with those that left before you are filling your new world with the magic that you filled our world with!! We love you very much and keep dancing for stars like you never cease to shine!!
I am at peace to know that Nana is with our Lord Jesus Christ. Glory to the Lord.
My Deepest Sympathy
Dear Donna & Family, Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mom. I know from looking at all the pictures throughout the years that you will have a lot of wonderful memories to treasure. I commend you on the loving care you provided for her, especially in the last years. I am sure she is dancing up a storm in heaven. Love, Sandy & Richard
Proverbs 10:7 says that the memory of the righteous is blessed. My greatest memories of Nana is during my high school and college days where I was going over to spend time with Nana and take her out to dollar stores. We all know how Nana loved her dollar stores, but what is a blessing to me is that the stories I got told when I was with her shopping and going out to eat. They were beautiful stories of the past and present and future. I know to some, this must be hard to take in but Nana loved talking about the Lord and she couldn’t wait to be with Him. How Nana described the Lord was beautiful. These memories of my Nana are such a blessing to me because you can’t really know someone until your alone with them and away from every worry the world has to offer. The Nana I was getting to know was the real one, the beautiful, overly tiny, high spirited and lover of Jesus Christ. Thank you Nana for showing me, way before I came to Christ, who He was and what He did through you on this earth. God speed.
even though i did not know Grammy very well i still loved her i only met her three times and it just makes me sad that Peyton never saw Grammy and that i did not spend much time with her atleast she is not suffering
I’ll always remember sister Ann, Polka Dancing and afterwords, In her kitchen having saltines with PB&J Will miss you and remember you in my Prayers….. Love sister Dot
You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. I’ve been searching what to say & I came across this poem! I hope yesterday when I was playing the polkas you were dancing with me cause I know how much you enjoyed our dancing especially the waltz. You’ll be with me always! I know you know this that I never had no problem being & staying & caring for you. I Love You & will miss you. XXOO
I remember living in the mobile home on Kelly Dr.(Next to Leona & Gus). I may have been 5, Kelly 3, Chris 2, she was going to teach us how to polka dance like all her kids learned back home. 1-2-3, 1-2-3… right-2-3, left-2-3. The Jersey Hop is what she called it. Dancing With The Stars calls it a quick step, what do they know?? lol Thanks for never giving up, you will be missed but not forgotten. Love you Nana, Aileen
You know I really don’t know even where to begin….. My Nana …. There are so many precious memories I have of her from being little and walking all over the southeast side from dollar store to dollar store…. To her watching my sister and I when my parents were out of town….to crashing in her bed when I had school the next day after seeing my boyfriend and St Hedwig seemed SO far…. even to this last year of her life …. We played cards, folded towels, took a stroll 20ft back and forth on Fair Ave, or sometimes just have a special treat….. Haha… Like maybe a margarita or Pizza Hut… The list goes on. But thru it all,I sit back and see just how blessed I am ever to be given a special lady as my Nana. She loved her family, friends, dancing and the lord…. Oh and her junk…. Yeah ..Junk that’s what it is….. She loved her knick knacks and always made sure it had it’s special place. I would not change a thing for my nana , she lived a great long life with many memories and tales to tell. She was happy and spunky!!! She will always be in my heart and one day well meet again…. “How blessed and grateful I am to have a precious gift like you given to me, MY NANA!! I love you always … nana banana!!!” I found this poem and it touched me deep…. wanted to share: To my dearest darling Nana, Up in Heaven, high above, I know today your with us all, And sending all your love. Today we all remember you, And bid you one last goodbye, Celebrate the life you’ve had And maybe have a cry. You’ll never be forgotten Nan, I’ll just close my eyes and see, Your smiling face and feel your love And you’ll be close to me. You had such a long life, So many have so less, It was your time, the Angels came, And placed you with the best. So dear Nana, up above Although your no longer here, In my heart is where I’ll keep you, Forever, you’ll be near.
We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore; We did our best to the end, ‘Til we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away; And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. You left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere; We never shall and never will Forget you my Nana dear. My Nana was such a blessing to have in our lives. I will cherish all the memories I have of her forever. She will be so dearly missed but I am at peace that she is with our Lord, suffering no more. We love you Nana… and you will be FOREVER in our hearts… rest in peace…
Annie you will be sorely missed. Your kindness and guidance was much appreciated. I know there will be dancing in Heaven now.
Donna, Donnie and family, I share in your loss on a personal basis. Having lost my own mother nothing can replace that kind of love. I also had the privilege to meet your momma at April’s wedding and boy did she make an impression! She was a joy, full of humor and what a character she was. I know she was loved by many and will be missed. May our Lord give you and your family strength and courage as you face this difficult time. Peace be with all!
Annie was a fun square dancer & a great waltzer. From here on every waltz I dance I’ll always think of her & the many good times we had. Marie
