I miss nana and how she would play card games with memaw and I.  Seeing her in the car waiting for me after school use to be the best part of my school days. I feel better knowing nana is at peace now.

Flora Mae Atkins,
Celebrating going home to heaven is such an understatement when it comes to you.
As much as you are so very missed, no one was more ready to get a pair of wings.

I am beyond grateful to have had 23 years of memories with my great grandmother. She has taught me things I will always hold  close to my heart. Here are just a few of the many things I have learned…
• butter ain’t never hurt anyone… “it’s good for you”
•water your plants
•watch the birds 
•speak up!
•always save some batter for yourself, that won’t hurt you either 
•cheer for the Atlanta Braves, even when they let you down
•my dad, Jeffrey D Atkins hung the moon
•the best recipes use no actual measurements, just “whatever till it looks right”
•hair soft as silk is not from any hair products 
•coffee and “special K” is a 5 star breakfast 
•always watch your loved ones leave till you can’t see the car anymore 
…………..
Nana, I’m so glad I got to at least tell you about Asher… I know he’s got you watching over him now. 
As for me, I love you lots ❤️ 
Like I always told you when saying goodbye, “you better be good!”

Celebrating Christmas at Jeff's house.
Doug, Nana, and Jeff

I’m so blessed to have had a grandmother like Nana.. She made the best German chocolate cake I’ve ever had, not to mention her fried chicken! I remember Sunday morning s watching the Lone Ranger with her.  She was a kind soul. I know there were plenty people waiting to greet her in heaven. Hope we all make her proud as she watches from there.

There are so many good memories that I have of my Nana.  One of my favorite memories was that the grandchildren would take turns spending the night with Nana and Papaw.  We would get to watch cartoons on Saturday morning and Nana would make sure that we would have our favorite cereal for breakfast.  Mine was Lucky Charms.  The best thing though was that she gave me my love for quilting.

One of my favorite memories is how Nana always made sure to keep the tradition she started going. Every time I came for a visit she gave us a bag of mnm’s. I remember her coming home from work at torko and needing a bath because of all the grease. I remember going and feeding the ducks every time we visited. I remember watching tv land with her and all the crossword puzzles she taught me. I will always miss her. I’m also glad for the blessing I had of having her in my life, my family, my heritage. I love you Nana!

My condolences to Stacey Atkins and family. May God be of utmost comfort during this time as only He can. Prayers and love. 

I am thankful that I have 36 years worth of memories and moments with my great grandmother, and I am more than thankful for the years my girls spent with her too. We love you, Nana. We miss you more than you could know.
