My beloved Nana was the daughter of
William H Flynn and Martha J Smart.
On 26 November 1902 in Portsmouth, NH in the Immaculate Conception Church, she married Edward Michael LaGrange.
Mother of:
Cecelia
Margaret Agnes
Wilena "Billie"
William F. "Red"
Edward F. "Eddie"
Dorothea Adelaide (my mum)
Nana raised several of her grandchildren and she played an integral part of my upbringing as both my parents worked during the war years. Nana instilled in me the love of animals, taught us to love everyone no matter what the race, color or creed and that we were all created equal. She loved cats & would feed any and every stray that came to her door.
I attended grade school across the street from my grandparents home and would go there for lunch and after school. I can still see her at the old cast iron, wood burning kitchen stove cooking stew & can still smell the biscuits or bread in the warming oven.
Nana had a wonderful feather bed up on the third floor of the house & on stormy days we would go up there & she'd read to me then I'd take a nap. Oh how I miss that!!
She would sit in her rocking chair with me on her lap singing the old Irish ballards to me. I can still feel her arms around me and hear her voice singing Toora-Loora-Looral. I remember we would dance around my small table to Don McNeil's Breakfast Club as that's the only way she could get me to drink my O.J.!!
Thank you, Nana, for your love and affection and the wonderful memories I now carry in my heart.
