Nan's 60th Birthday Tribute
This page was created to celebrate Nan on her 60th birthday – her kindness, her strength, her creativity, and the way she holds so many of us together. It began as a special gift just for her and has now become part of our family story.
Who Nan Is to Us
Nan is more than a daughter-in-law – she is a daughter of the heart. She loves big, works hard, and pours herself into both family and work with a quiet, steady strength that we see even when she doesn’t.
She has welcomed people into her home, celebrated every big and small moment with the kids and grandkids, and consistently shows up in ways that matter. This tribute exists because we wanted her to see, in one place, even a fraction of what she means to us.
The Song
As part of this tribute, a custom song was written just for Nan. It tells pieces of her story, her heart, her humor, and the love that surrounds her. When you press play, you’re hearing more than music – you’re hearing a love letter from her family.
From a Simple Idea to a Family Keepsake
This tribute began as a surprise – a single webpage and a song for one birthday. But like so many good things, it has grown into something more: a place where love, memory, and family live in one shared space.
Nan’s page is one of the first in Sandy’s Family site, and it helped inspire the idea of building out pages for each part of the family. It’s a reminder that one act of love can ripple outward in ways no one expects.
