We are sad to announce that Tim’s grandmother (Nana) passed away this last week. I would post a picture, but Tim comes from a long line of people who hate posing for photos.
Today was the funeral – not just any funeral, but a real, Catholic (read: reverent) funeral. We got brave and brought the baby. She was very good for the most part, except that during the silence immediately preceding a somber musical number, she enthusiastically shouted “Yay!!!” Apparently she liked the song.
The funeral was nice, and it was fun to spend time with Tim’s extended family. Which is slightly smaller than my 2000+ (and growing) family.
I never got to know Old Nana in her prime, but I’ve heard dozens of stories that leave me in no doubt that I have missed out. She doted on Tim and supported, loved, and nurtured him through many difficult times in his life.
Go with angels, Old Nana.

So sorry to hear about this Time. She sounds like a perfect Nana. Much love to you and your family.
It's very difficult to lose "Nana's", no matter how old they are. She sounds like such a wonderful person. I would like to know more about her. We also send our love to your family.
Sorry to hear about Old Nana's death. Death is hard for those they leave behind. From what you say, it sounds like she was a wonderful person.
I'm not at all surprised about the lack of photo. I'm sorry for the loss of Old Nana.
I, too, would like to hear some Old Nana stories. So sorry for the sad time.
Oh, and my children exclaim inappropriate things at inappropriate times every day of their lives. ;)
Sorry to hear your grandmother passed away Tim. I hope you have many fond memories of her.
I'm sorry to hear about Old Nana. Her name alone tells me she must have been a wonderful soul!
