85 years of heart

Happy Nanie Day! To the original vegetarian among us, to the one whose heart of compassion towards all creatures has inspired us all - we celebrate your 85 years of generous living and loving, and we wish you health and happiness for many more birthdays to come!

A good time was had by all, especially by Grandpa!

A sleepy farewell at the end of a very special evening.

And did I mention Nanie's legendary heart for animals?!  We love that about you, Mom, and we hope that our own lives will always reflect what you have taught us about passionate empathy.
