Remembering Nan


Today is a sad day, as we have said our final good bye to Nan... such a wonderful lady and friend. However, we also celebrate her life and the legacy that she leaves behind. When the family gather together and you look around it is amazing to think that so many children and grandchildren have all come from this one beautiful woman! The lives that she has touched extend far beyond those of her family.

Her love for the Lord was so evident and she was always so encouraging.

I have so many fond memories of Nan, but one that I will cherish the most was in July 2008 when I sat with Nan and she told me stories of her childhood and the hard times that she had to live through as an aboriginal. There is nothing like learning the history of a people from someone that has lived it.

I look forward to the day that I will see her once again- in heaven with our Lord! I love you Nan!
