Nanny being baptized at the age of 98.
On the day of her baptism, Nanny wouldn't let us get up from our seats to let her sit down, so she sat down on the steps. She always put others before herself.
Nanny playing with my kitten a few years ago. Nanny herself had a poodle named Tom and a Havanese dog named Harvey.
Me, Carrie, and Nanny in January.
I will miss Nanny so much. She is an amazing person, and she is more alive now than ever.

I love your last statement. It's so funny how true it really is.
Love and prayers,

So sorry to hear about this, we are definitely praying for you.
Seems that she left a legacy. I'd be interested to know why she was baptized at age 98! wow!
Rachel, my nanny was baptized as a little girl, but later in life she questioned whether she really understood what baptism means, so she decided to do it for the right reasons.
