On March 17, 2014 the family lost an amazing woman. I only knew Alice or as everyone in the family called her, Nanny, for a few years but what a privilege it was. She was 101 when she passed away and she lived a full life. I enjoyed spending 4 Christmas' with her and was so happy that she was able to come to the wedding and meet Andrew. She will be greatly missed but is now with her husband and two sons.
This was the last time we saw Nanny. We were in Minneola for Christmas 2013.
We were all able to get together in Hays for a couple of days and spend some quality family time together. We went drove to Hays and met everyone at Nanny's house. Mike, Stephanie, Myranda, Preston, Butch, and Sandy were already there. Jim, Michele, Alissa and McKenzie were on their way as well. We went to JD's Chicken House for dinner, which was a favorite of Nanny's. After dinner, we all enjoyed some pool and hot tub time together.
Sunday we went back to Nanny's to help Butch go through and move some things.
Nanny never threw anything. How old do you think this Luvs box is?
A coffee grinder I found upstairs that I was able to keep. Thanks to the family for letting me have it. It will be proudly displayed in my new kitchen!
Some of Butch's toys from 60 years ago.
Monday was the funeral. It was a lovely service and it was very nice to say goodbye to Nanny.

You will be missed Nanny :)
