Although Nana Strickland, was not Noah's
biological Grandmother, you could not tell by the love she showed for him.
She loved him just as much as she did any of the other 23 grandchildren.
Nana loved to "learn" Noah things as
she said it in her Southern Dialect. She taught him several signs
including the one (sign) for heaven, not knowing that he would shortly be
signing that she was in heaven.

First Christmas in Heaven Poem

When
we met her, she was called "Granny Strickland." Noah learned to say Nana
and began calling her "Nana Strickland" and she was "Nana Strickland" only
to him! 
These
are the Poinsettias that we laid down at her grave. They were the
prettiest and pinkest poinsettias we could find. It's hard to go from
giving gifts wrapped in love each year to just laying flowers at a
tombstone. It doesn't seem equal in least, but they are from our heart to
hers.
