We will meet you there someday. We love you and it will never be the same here without you. Nannie, we love you and we'll miss you and you are forever in our hearts. We are sending you a bunch of Jesus hugs and angel kisses. The family will receive friends at Lowe Funeral Home, 4715 Margaret Wallace Rd.
