"It has been said, 'Time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
"...You don't know about sadness 'til you spend nights alone, you don't know about lonely, 'til it's chiseled in stone."
We love you so much and we miss you every minute of every day.
– Love, Nan
and all your family
