Thank you Nanny. Thank you for all you did for me. For the unconditional love and care that I was so blessed to receive from you. Thank you for playing games with me, doing arts and crafts with me, teaching me, constantly supporting me and so much more that I would not be able to fit into this message. I’m really gonna miss you and your warm hugs. I love you.
