    My family is so blessed to be able to say that we knew and always will love Memaw. I cherish the times that she got to love on Austin, Emma and Trevor. Even though we were not blood family or even legally adopted family, we have always been made to feel like family. There are too many people to count that loved Memaw and that is a testament to the person she was. I am eternally thankful that we were able to be at the house some this past week, that the kids were able to love on Memaw some more and that I was able to sit and hold her hand. Thank you all for that! We all know that she is rockin those babies in Heaven right now. Love you all!! Rebecca, John, Austin, Emma and Trevor Hansen (John 14:27)
