Rest in peace Nana. You will be missed by all. Always quick with a joke and a smile. Great sense of humor. Tough as nails. Loved to be surrounded by family and friends. Loved Sinatra and Family Fued. Never shy about her feelings or her opinion. Lived a long and wonderful life. We’ll miss you! On to heaven and the next chapter 💕

Rest in eternal peace Mrs. J. You will always have a special place in my heart. You were such a big part of my life as a teenager. You and your family were a second family to me. I loved you all. I’ll always remember your kindness, your loving ways, and your amazing Irish wit. You were one of the most strongest people I know. If life got you down, you never showed it. Your smile lit up your house. I remember you going to work and always looking so beautiful. You proudly represented BSO and devoted years to serving with such grace and dignity. There was such an outpouring of love and condolences on the BSO Retiree site. Many reflected on how much you impacted their lives. You always touched lives so profoundly and you will never be forgotten. I love you so much… I never stopped loving you. Well done good and faithful servant. Rest in the arms of the Lord now. 🙏💜 🖤💙🖤🇺🇸
