Remembering Great Nana

On Thursday, July 26th, Nana went home to be with the Lord, surrounded by her four children, daughter-in-law and her husband. She was a faithful follower of Christ and lived a full life, serving Him. She was kind, generous, loving and a great cook :) She loved her family well and made everyone around her feel incredibly cared for.  She had a good sense of humor, was a wicked bowler and could make a mean sushi. She had a cute little poof of white hair, a sweet smile and a good amount of spunk for such a small little lady! I am so glad that she was my nana and Jackson's great nana. She set an example of what it is like to live a life worthy of the Gospel and Christ's calling for our lives.  She will be missed on this earth but we celebrate that she is with her Lord!

We are incredibly thankful that Jackson was able to meet Nana and spend some time cuddling with her. What a special opportunity to have four generations together and allow Nana to meet her first great grandchild.
Meeting Jackson for the first time!

Look at how much they love each other. This is how Nana makes everyone feel! 
 Although we wish it was under better circumstances, we had a chance to spend time with Matt and Chase, my sister in law for the past 2 months.  We had a great time at their wedding in June. They are so full of laughter and make Jackson giggle! It was so nice to have some extra hands (in addition to grand mom and pop pop) to help change diapers and play with him.  They are going to make great parents when the time comes and we are exited to spoil our niece/nephew(s)!
