Nana Kenney had an awesome sense of humor. If you said anything funny she would laugh and she had a great laugh. She maintained that laugh and innocence and light heartedness throughout her whole life.
When I think of Nana its mostly funny memories. For some reason the one that stands out is one time she picked me up from prep school and we were on the highway back when Nana was still driving - I'm sure everybody remembers the Focus. When we got to the toll booth she had a handful of change and completely missed the basket. We both got a good kick out of that one. Either on that trip or a separate one she went down a ramp and ended up on the wrong side of the highway. Another good laugh.
We also had some good inside jokes, like 'you know, know what I mean', and 'juice and toast' (in an irish accent).
I always felt like I had a close special relationship with Nana Kenney but when I hear the other grandkids talk about her, all the cousins, I realize everybody feels the same way.
She would email often and was always appreciative when you sent her an email. She used to sign her messages (messeeges) 'All my love, always and forever' - because I think she knew that time is limited, or as Pop Pop Kenney would say, 'life is short'.
So I'll take that love from Nana always and forever, because she was letting me know that even after she is gone her love is still here.
