Dear Nana aka "Great", It's hard to believe you're gone. You've been such major part of all of our lives for so long. I keep thinking about my earliest memories of you - Sunday's at Nana & Pops house. Sitting outside on the deck - you with a strapless bathing suit and bandana - eternally tan. Taking walks around the neighborhood on Wheeler Drive at night, listening to the crickets. Sunday football with Trivia Pursuit, Fritos and onion dip. The sweetened tea, only available at your house, that Leah and I drank from our special blue and yellow cups. The countless summers at LBI and the excitement of being with the whole family for a week at the beach. Every single holiday of my entire life, you were there. Then Christmas Eve became a yearly staple that had us counting the minutes for church to be over so we could join the party. So many laughs - even through tears - our hearts are so heavy. We were blessed to have you as long as we did. We love Nana. We will miss you so much, Great. ❤️
