Rena Standring : 1909-2006

Nana passed away back on July 11th at the age of 97.

I have been hoping to be inspired to write the perfect post, to capture all the feelings involved, but have resigned myself to the fact that this will not likely happen. I have felt that having so recently posted about the loss of our pet bearded dragon Zed would seem to diminish a post on the impact that losing Nana has had on our lives However, writing of Nana's passing has been postponed too long already.

Nana had 96 healthy and happy years. By the end of the last year I believe that in the end Nana was more than ready to move on and to be reunited with Daddy Ed who passed away back in 1997. While her passing was expected, I was far from ready for it and never expect to be.
