Nonny

My dear, sweet Nonny passed away on April 1, 2008. Her love, kindness, and joy will live within us forever. She is missed by all of us. She passed away quickly and quietly. I'm sure this is exactly the way she wanted to go. As most of you know, my friendship with my Nonny was so strong. I cared for her during her final days and feel honored to help usher into the next world.

She had a special bond with her only great-grandchild-- Mr. Kai. Kai was so gentle, attentive, and quiet around Nonny. He loved to snuggle next to her on the couch. During her final days, Kai would lie next to Nonny and stroke her cheek. He seemed very calm and not scared to touch her and kiss her. One of Nonny's last responses was to clap when Kai came to her bed and with her eyes closed, she kissed Kai on the lips. Sweet love to the end....
