Shirley Hardy

My favorite old memory of "Nanny" was when I was about 9 years old and my cousin Liz and I were down in her house visiting and she let us play with her makeup. We got to wear her bright lipstick and she gave us a bunch of lipstick samples and makeup to keep. I wasn't very good at it! My most recent visit to VA was this summer, just a couple months ago. She was so happy to see me and Jacob and I got to see her before she passed on. She loved her family more than anything and she will be sorely missed! Love you Nan!
