    My Dearest Grandmother, My Nanny... I love you Nan and will forever walk this earth with you close to my heart. You hold a very special place in my soul nobody will ever compare to the beautiful, giving and loving person that you were... You always made me smile and laugh and I just loved sitting and talking with you and just being with you. I wish there were more of those times cause they are some of my best memories. You were and will always remain the light of the room... I miss you my cute little Nan and will see you when it's my time. May you rest with them Angels in the garden of our Lord Jesus Christ and be bathed in his light... I will Love you always and forever... Your 2nd born grand daughter, Brandi Marie Haeg

    My nanny.. You showed me how to love, but not just any kind of love you showed me a way to love that no one else could have ever showed me. You loved me and everyone in your life so much! I watched your every move through the years and all the love you gave me never went with out notice! And I couldn't imagine who I would be with out you. You took care of me the same from a baby to a woman and overcompensated for me always! But only because you wanted to! You spoiled me with love and laughs and compassion, you never judged me, you had a special way and a special connection that touched everyone who ever met you. A true Angel you are! You are a saint to me! And you treated my son peter just as you did me and I am more than thankful for that and so is he! You will played a big role in molding him into the loving boy he is. You were and are so special to him for the rest of his life. If I can grow to be half the woman you were I will be fulfilled. I will never forget you and always carry with me the life lessons that I cherished learning from you. I'll see you on the other side for an apple picnik! Until then I carry you in my soul always! -Manda
