Today, I want to honor someone who truly touched my life in ways words can hardly fully capture. Their laughter was a bright spark that never failed to light up every room, often accompanied by their hilarious comments that could turn any moment into a joyful memory. They had a unique gift for finding humor even in the simplest of things, and their wit brought smiles and comfort to everyone around them.
Music was a special language between us—every time Gladys Knight’s soulful melodies played, it felt as if they were right there with me, sharing in the rhythm and lyrics that spoke to the heart. Those songs became our soundtrack of connection, reminding me of their kindness, strength, and the beautiful soul they were.
What I will cherish most are the countless messages they wrote to me, filled with encouragement, love, and sometimes playful teasing that made my day brighter. Their words, like their humor, left an indelible mark on my heart.
Though they are no longer here, their spirit lives on through the laughter they sparked, the music they loved, and the genuine kindness they shared so freely. I am grateful for having known such a wonderful person, and I carry their memory with warmth, gratitude, and a smile, forever inspired by the light they brought into my life.
Rest peacefully, Big Nanie —you will always be missed. -Craig Minter
