What a week already! Yesterday afternoon Nana met Jesus too. What an amazing woman! She will surely be missed. Mrs. Ernestine Berry was a sharp, 97-year-old lady until just a couple months ago when she began to really lose her health. Having only known her for a few years, it was a pure joy! She was like my own grandmother since I lost both of mine before meeting Ryan. It was always so neat to sit and listen to her stories of the men that proposed to her and her turning them down to riding in the car in Big Creek, MS (where she grew up) while the curtains blew in the wind. I never heard the words for myself, but she apparently always told her granddaughters that "You can marry for money just as much as you can marry for love!" Ryan and I will miss all the letters and newspaper articles she sent for years. And, we'll never forget how she was so proud of Truett and said, "He is well made!"Nana, Mrs. Ernestine, Miss Priss, The Queen will be missed, but she's so much better now!

Ryan, we are so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. She sounds like a really neat lady. Those grandmothers are something special.
