    What a wonderful lady Nan was. She danced in my Thursday evening line dance class at the Legion when she was in her 80’s! Loved her sense of humour, her smile and her laugh. My sympathies to her family during this difficult time.

  12. My childhood memories of the sweetest lady from the upper Mission. I will always remember Nan’s gardens-They were amazing and she would let me pick strawberries when ever I was eyeing the super big ones. Thank you Mrs. Andersen for the special childhood memories, you gained your angel wings-
