Nana you’re always going to be loved and missed and thought of often! Mason Aly were so blessed to have gotten to spend time with their Great Nana and I’ll always cherish the memories of growing up so close to you Papa. You never missed a football game and were always there waving your big #1 pointed finger in our support. All my friends team mates adopted you as their own! You were always such fun to be around especially when cutting some rug at one of Ron’s gig’s! Your warm tender heart and lively spirit has been passed along through Aunt Sharon, Aunt Deina, and Mom through to us grandkids and now to your great grandchildren and we’ll be sure to keep that spirit going forever! Give Papa a big hug for us I’m so happy that you’re going to enjoy eternal life in God’s Heavenly Kingdom! Keep singing and dancing! xoxo jeffrey joseph arsenault
