Nan was a mother to the core, not only to her children, but to the happiest dogs and cats that ever lived. Small things made her happy, and she laughed so easily and so well. We will miss her deeply. Nan’s favorite verse, from Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, is a fitting farewell: “The untold want by life and land ne’er granted, / Now voyager, sail thou forth to seek and find.”
