Aaron's Nanny passed away on Sunday. She was born on July 3rd, 1909. She was 100 years, 9 months, and 29 days old. I didn't know her well, having only met her twice, but everyone talks about how amazing she was. She was very much a matriarchal figure of the family and a great woman of faith. Praise God for the legacy that He granted her to have in this world, for the sake of many generations exalting Christ because of her faithfulness in teaching her children about Him and reflecting His image in the way she lived. Praise God.
Nanny is in the center of this picture, with most of her family surrounding her.
This picture was passed along in an email, with the date being about 1982, which means that she was about 73 when it was taken.
David (Aaron's Peepaw) and Vivian (Aaron's Meemaw and Nanny's daughter) are in the bottom left corner.
Aarons' mom Peggy and dad Mike are beside Nanny to the left.
We are heartbroken that Vivian and Kate were never able to meet their great, great grandmother. She became very sick and unresponsive during the past year and it we couldn't find a good time to visit. But when they are older, they will be taught about the way this holy woman who hoped in God was used by Him to spread the fame of Jesus Christ in this family. I pray that I and my daughters will have the favor to leave such a legacy.
