Our Nan was a kind soul that had worked hard and with determination. With her kind heart she loved all her family and enjoyed the company of her friends and neighbors. Her home cooked meals brought family and friends together. Her love of baking delicious recipes was passed on to her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren sure enjoyed eating them. Current world issues, politics, and her daily Suduko’s made for many lively conversations, and were of great interest to her. Auf Weidersehen Nan.
