So very many of us wouldn’t be here without you.
Your six children (and their spouses)
Your more than a dozen grandchildren (and some of their spouses!)
And nine great-grandchildren
For now.
We all have been touched by your wisdom, your grace and your strength. And we each have countless memories of moments shared with you, lessons learned, advice sought.
And tomorrow, many of us will gather for a celebration in your honor. What a privilege for us all. To be in a room together, our eyes looking toward you in gratitude and admiration. All of us owing you more thanks than we ever could muster but that we certainly will try to convey.
Happy Birthday, Nanny. We (and the soon-t0-be room full of your progeny) love you!

Happy Birthday, Nanny! (late) You are one blessed woman, and your family is so blessed to have you! Do you watch Brothers and Sisters? Are you like Nora Walker? Just checking. For some reason I think of you as a Nora Walker kind of mom – fully unconditional, a little feisty, wholly supportive, funny, wise, and willing.

Every family needs a matriarch. I was at a family reunion with our family’s and it was so cool to see how she had touched everyone’s life and how we all carried a small piece of her around with us. Give your Nanny a big hug for all of us!
