Nanny, you don't know how much we miss you. Ashton talks about you everyday. You meant so much to him, he loved you so much. We miss you dearly also. I am so glad we had went seen you when you were in the hospital and got to sit and just enjoy being with you for the day. We will be sure and let Allie know just how loving and funny you were. I sure wish she would have been able to be around you longer, and know the loving Nanny we all knew. But we know you are in a better place. But that still does not make it any easier for us down here. We love you and miss you nanny.
