Dear Nanny, Your never-ending warmth, thoughtfulness and selflessness will live on with our family and friends forever! We all have so much that we learn from you - ideals that you lived by including kindness, humility, humbleness, respect, care and of course, never-ending and unconditional LOVE. No matter where you were, you always made every family and friend feel welcome. Whether we were visiting your home in Chambersburg or you were visiting ours in Hershey, you found ways to show your love. Emily and I took anxiously hurried home from school on days that we knew you would be visiting Hershey. We ran down our driveway because we knew your car waiting in the driveway! When we entered the house, we first smelled fresh baked cookies but opted instead to run to you for one of your amazing hugs. During those school day, it was such a treat to be able to think throughout the day that "Nanny is arriving today!" Similarly, I remember your how effortless you made everything look when we visited Chambersburg. Before we set a foot inside the door, fresh beds were made, lunch sandwiches were ready, and the TV room was queued up for special showings of Fantasia. Your tirelessness and selflessness continued throughout our entire stay. I always remember that after a full day of fun at your house, I would be exhausted by the evening. Your tirelessness spirit meant that you often stayed up well into the night, after everyone else had gone to sleep, so that you could prepare for the next day. Nanny's love never sleeps! Because of you, our entire family and friends have a role model for all that we strive to be - kind, thoughtful, hard-working, caring, loving. We will continue to celebrate you forever. Thank you for everything! xxooxx, Matthew
