Hi everybody, So sad to hear about your loss. Nana was and will always remain as one of the kindest souls in my life. I loved spending time with her and all of you in fond memories we've made on the cape. I didn't have a grandmother of my own until Emmy and Kerry adopted me into the family, and then I got the best grandmother there ever was. Thank you for letting me in! Lots of love to you in this difficult time. -Nadia

My sincere condolences to my dear friend Kerry and the entire Tribe established under the Loving Spirit of Ms Judith Ludwig; my instant friend. Ohhh the Love of a Mother never wanes. Please know this. She is in the air that you breathe, the snow flake that falls on you brow, that scent in the air that no one else smells, that moment of clarity because her advise always stills assures you. Your Mother never leaves; she takes her place in the hearts of those who love her and it deepens; it deepens. Much Love to You All.
