My sweet Nan, while I know I didn’t know you for many years I can’t help but feel as if I’ve known you my whole life. Your love and dedication and kindness left a mark on every person you met in the best way possible. I remember when I first met you I was bringing Haley flowers to your house and you greeted me as I walked through your front door with the biggest smile. I remember Haley showing you pictures of me and you telling her “he’s pretty hay you better hold onto that one”. Oh what I’d give to paint that roof for you again while you keep telling me “hey bullfrog you missed a spot” or to mow your yard while you sneakily watch out the back door making sure I do it right lol or to stand in a store with you while you look at every single item even if you know you weren’t gonna buy it. They say a person dies twice in life, once when they close their eyes and don’t wake back up and once when their name isn’t said anymore, so Mom, Nan, Nanna, Nan Nan, jaun, Jaunita, these names we called you will never stop being said and you’ll live forever in our hearts. Bullfrog loves you
