In Loving Memory

My grandmother, Nene, went to be with Jesus on January 14, 2011. It was a shock, and it broke my heart. Nene was the best grandmother anyone could ask for. She was always there for me, and she treated all of her children and grandchildren equally. Nene was truly one of the funniest people I know. She could always make me laugh. Her hair was always perfect. She loved Elvis. And angels. And food. She really loved her family. Most important of all, the loved the Lord.

Nene was so good with my kids. She particularly had a special bond with Peyton. Peyton made her laugh so much. She once said she had to see Peyton everyday. And she just about did.

I'm sad she's gone, but I know she's having the time of her life. It breaks my heart to hear Peyton ask where Nene is. It breaks my heart to drive by Nene's house. It breaks my heart to see pictures of Nene. But it also makes me smile. We have so many good memories of Nene, and she truly was JOY.

Nene, we will always love you and miss you, but we will see you again soon. See ya in the funnies!
