Nano's Great Grandkids (Nate & Julia) in her school 19th May 2016

From Susan Hancock (Nano's Granddaughter-in-law, Wife of Chris Hancock) I feel blessed that my children spent all of their Preschool – 8th Grade years at Nano's school, so they have an amazing Montessori foundation that will help them all their life, but also their educational foundation was shepherded and fostered by Nano. And it’s a blessing that many of those years were spent (after school) at her dining room table, where the Nate and Julia did homework and ate cookies, chocolate, and milk that Nano gave them: she fussed over them. Their Grandma Marta was there for many, many of those days as well. I know that for Nano, having her Great Grandchildren IN her school and IN her dining room doing homework from HER school - that was the BEST! She understood that these things don’t always happen – timing-wise – because she lost nearly all of her cherished loved ones during WWII. She soaked up every moment of being a Great Grandmother. It’s a wonderful memory for my kids (and for me).
