Rpi Nanny, we love you so much and miss you ❤️ thank you for being there for all us.
My condolences to the Miller and Propts family. She loved her family with all her heart. Always with a big beautiful smile. One memory with her, was Thanksgiving dinner back in 2012, she made the best food. She always was very supportive in all her family decisions but she wasn’t afraid to tell you the truth neither. She loved hugs no matter who you were. Her family was always there when she needed them the most. God rest her soul in the loving arms of her dear sweet husband Jerry.
