A Great Loss

On Sunday afternoon the world lost the best woman it has likely ever known, my grandmother, Patricia "Nana" "Nana Pat" "Mama Knicks" Ratliff.

She was the most caring, most giving woman I have ever known. She once literally gave someone the shirt off her back. She never stopped taking in stray dogs and stray people. And while some certainly took advantage of the goodness of her heart, an untold number of people were touched and made all the better by it.
Today I've been going through pictures for a memorial service. Here are a few of the gems I've come across...











We'll love you and miss you, Nana.
