    God looked around the garden and saw an empty space.
    He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
    He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
    God's garden must be beautiful for he only takes the best.

    Nana may you rest easy with the angels. You will truly be missed. ❤

    I was Mary and Norm's neighbor on Wescott Dr. in Phx, AZ from 1995 until I grew up and was married. Mary was a hoot. Being a native to Phz, I loved her accent and loud voice. She always knew what us neighborhood kids were up to because she watched from her home. I remember going to her sons wedding in her backyard in 2003.I remember going to Norm's funeral in 2002 when I was pregnant with my son. I remember her grandkids Allison and her brother visiting. I have a lot of memories. Specifically, I remember her working for the local school district and talking about about her concerns for kids whose shoes were in bad shape. She was great, and nosy, and funny. Blessings to all who read this. I looked her up tonight and found this. May she be in heaven with Norm and with pur Lord!
