What a Week!!

What a week! My mom said it best ... "The angels must have come down with a bus and said, come on and load up!" Heaven has definitely had many victories this week (Mr. Abb, our sister-in-law's grandfather, Mr. Shearin, Nana, and about 3 more that we didn't know directly). I have been reminded in these past 3 days that family and friends are precious and spending time together is even more precious! Mom and dad have some amazing friends and will be Mrs. Theresa's support for the next while and New Hebron has showered the Berry family with love and GREAT stories of Nana. It's so neat how you learn so much about someone after they're gone.
Nana's funeral was precious! Everything was so NANA! There were so many expected at visitation last night that they moved her to the chapel (She would have been so proud! :)) I was able to do her programs which turned out great with her pretty pink lips in the picture on the front (so Nana). The service was simple, yet perfect. The pastor's words were perfect and so personal after using her Bible for reference! There were tons of flowers. "Nana loved flowers and handsome men" as her obituary stated! LOVE IT!
What a week! Lots of grieving and tears but happiness too! How can you be sad for someone who has won the victory!!

Nana sounds like a wonderful lady. Enjoyed reading about her. I know the programs you did were beautiful. Thinking about y'all...
