When I was a young boy Nanny knew how to put the "fear of God" into me when I broke one of her rules. This was necessary for a young boy who was very ornery and full of mischief. We were not fortunate to grow up close to Nanny and Pappy, but we were fortunate enough to go on many camping trips with them during the summers. There were some summers that we spent at their home and those trips were always fun as well. I remember Nanny cooking for us and I remember the quilts that she made that kept us warm in the winter. Going to Pinchot and fishing with Nanny and Pappy and spending time with our cousins was always a treat. Nanny was undoubtedly one of the hardest working women I have ever known. When we were camping she was always able to make do with whatever was at her disposal. She was a woman with an amazing inner strength and warmth as well. As I grew older, I realized what a kind woman she truly was and that her sometimes gruff exterior was only necessary to keep little boys out of trouble (including Pappy!). Our home today is filled with quilts that she has made for us and our children. They keep us warm at night and they will be cherished. I regret not having been able to make it back for Pappy's ceremony and I regret not having taken more time to visit them with my own children. I am thankful that those regrets are only temporary. I am looking forward to being reunited with them both in heaven. I have tried to imagine what it was like when Nanny and Pappy were reunited in heaven…my mind is unable to imagine what that must have been like. As Donny said they were pieces of a puzzle that fit together. Their lives touched the lives of many people and their children (including my mother Eileen or "Leenie") carry on their parents love for Jesus, their hard work ethic and an amazing inner strength. A strength and commitment that kept Lou and Edie married for 77 years. That alone is an amazing feat in today’s world. I am thankful that Nanny was able to spend time with her family and loved ones this past year after Pap died and that she was able to pass through death to her home in heaven with her daughter at her side. You will be missed Nanny and Pappy. I love you. Your Grandson, Ned
