I really never had a grandmother until I married my wife, my maternal GM died before I was born and my paternal one had only one favorite grandchild and the rest almost didn't exist to her. My wife is named after her and my third daughter shares her name also but we all just call her Nanny. Nanny welcomed me like her own blood grandchild and I her. She lived in the same town and I saw her 2-3 times a week for the last 15 years. She was a wonderful woman and a great friend to me. She was 92 years old and will be missed. She passed this afternoon with her daughter, my wifes sister, my wife and me by her side so very peacefully.
Services are Sunday May 22 at 12:30 at Searcy's Funeral Home.
In Lieu of flowers donations can be made to the medical children's camp that her great grandson (4 yo w/cancer) goes to:
Camp Smile A Mile
POBOX 550155
Birmingham AL, 35255

I'm sorry Wayne. She looks like she has a sweet heart! How blessed she was to have so many loved ones by her side when she passed!

Please accept my family's sincere condolences. I'm sure you have a new angel watching over you now...

Wayne,

If it is windy in Alabama tomorrow, it is because "Nanny" is trying out her new angel wings!

My daughter Nicole was confirmed this weekend at St. Lukes Church and my mom was her sponsor. As she walked in she was wearing her great-grandmothers necklace that was worn 80 years ago when she was a little girl for her confirmation. I said a long prayer for you Wayne and for your family and for the soul of your beloved Helen. You have always been such a good friend and my heart goes out to you really. On behalf of everyone at Factory Five, and especially from Denise and I, we send our love and kindest condolences.

thanks Dave and Olli, we had the funeral yesterday and had 30 family members and over a 100 came from the community to pay their respects. It was such a different funeral than I had ever been to as a true celebration of her life.
