I still can't believe that Nanny is really gone. I love her and miss her so much. I feel so blessed that I was able to have Nanny as my grandmother. She was the most loving, caring, and generous woman, and she had such a great sense of humor. Nanny was such a joy to be around. Everyone that met her could not help but love her. I loved growing up living next door to Nanny, and I will cherish all of the memories that I have of her. One of my favorite things to do was to get together with all of the family at Nanny and Paw Paw's house. Things will never be the same without Nanny there, but I find comfort knowing that we all gather with Nanny again one day in heaven. I would have loved to have Nanny here longer, but I would never have wanted her to suffer one day longer than she had to. I will miss her so much, but I know that she is in heaven now looking down on all of us. Thanks for everything Nanny. I love you so much!

Nanny was one of the finest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. She was a loving mother, a dedicated wife, and the best grandmother anyone could hope for. Most importantly, Nanny was a true friend to all of us. When you were hungry, she would feed you. When you were sick, she would take care of you. When you just needed to talk, she would listen. She was always there for everyone in our family. I thank you for raising your family on the principles of God’s Holy Word. I thank you for the good moral values you have instilled in each of us. I will always cherish the time that I have spent with you. I love you Nanny. It was an honor and privilege to have known you. I will miss you but I know I will see you again.

We always needed time on our own
We never thought we'd need you there when we cry
And the days feel like years when we're alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walked away we counted the steps that you took
Do you see how much we need you right now
When you're gone
The pieces of our hearts are missing you
When you're gone
The face we came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words we need to hear to always get us through the day and make it ok
We miss you
We've never felt this way before
Everything that we do reminds us of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, we loved the things that you'd do
When you walked away we counted the steps that you took
Do you see how much we need you right now
When you're gone
The pieces of our hearts are missing you
When you're gone
The face we came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words we need to hear to always get us through the day and make it ok
We miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
We know we were, yeah
All we ever wanted was for you to know
Everything we'd do, we gave our heart and soul
We can hardly breathe, we need to feel you here with us
When you're gone
The pieces of our hearts are missing you
When you're gone
The face we came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words we need to hear to always get us through the day and make it ok
We miss you.

I Carry Your Heart With Me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Many people I know have a best friend; a person who they have known for years (i.e. a classmate, a co-worker, a neighbor). A best friend is someone to trust, to share secrets, heartaches, laughter, or just be with. My best friend is my Mom. I will miss her so much. Who will I call when I need a shoulder to cry on? When my children or my grandchildren do something absolutely spectacular? Or, I have just made a dumb decision at work? Who will I call when I need to have a really great recipe for the next day for a potluck? Who will I call to just talk?
I remember the kindness and gentleness reflected in her eyes, the gentle touch of her hands as she wiped the tears from my eyes,the softness of her voice as she talked, the "zingers" she could say at the drop of a hat, the smile that made my heart leap with joy. I remember her as a gentle, yet courageous woman who brought joy and happiness to everyone she met. I remember her first as my Mother and then, as my best friend.
Also, I always knew that Mom and Dad loved each other unconditionally. And, in watching my Dad these last few days, I realize that she brought joy and happiness to his life, and that they were truly soul mates. I have been blessed.
Thank you, Mom, for all that you have done for your family.

Misty, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. You and yours will be in my prayers during this changing time in your life. Nanny looked like she was a beautiful woman who lived a beautiful life. We could all only hope to be as happy and peaceful as she is now. This tribute page is beautiful, and I know she is smiling down on you, happy to know that she was so loved, and touched so many lives. feel free to contact me if you need to talk about anything. You and I don't know each other that well, but I DO remember you as a cool person in high school, and anyone that special to you, is special to me too. Love you!
Holly.

Just wanted to say how sorry I am about the loss of Nanny Haines. Just know that she is now in Heaven without Pain and Suffering, which she had in her final days here on Earth. She is now with the Healer and Deliverer! You will all be in my prayers.

She was my Nanny! Nanny was a wonderful wife, a loving mother, but she was MY Nanny and I am so very lucky that I had her in my life for 36 years. Nanny has always been there for me. I look back over my life and she is a part of every memory I have. She was there for all of the big moments; my wedding and the birth of both of my childern. She was there for every momentous occasion and she was there for the little moments as well. Nanny has always been there for me and I miss her so very much. Nanny has always been such a dominant presence in my life and it is hard to accept that she is truly gone. My Nanny was a tiny woman with a truly giant heart. She loved us all unconditionally and I love her with all my heart. I know she had to leave us and that hurts so much. People tell me she is in a better place now, and my head knows this, it is my heart that is having a hard time accepting that she is gone. I try to imagine my life without her and I just cannot. My Nanny is gone now, she is no longer physically with us, but the light that shone from within her, her love for each of us, her heart and her soul live on. The live in her children, they live in her grandchildren and they live in her greatgrandchildren. She was my Nanny and she will always be my Nanny. I will always love her and I will always miss her. I love you, Nanny!!!

Nanny was such a great lady! She always made me feel like part of the family. She was a great listener. I feel very honored to have known her. I hope that my children and grandchildren will always love me the way we loved her. I love you and will miss you, Nanny.

Nanny was the best person anyone could ever meet. There was not one person who ever met her that did not love her. She helped raise me and lived next door to me growing up. Me and my sister and cousins would be with Nanny and PawPaw almost every day after school just hanging out. Even after we all grew up and moved away we all met up at Nanny and PawPaw's as much as possible. We still do and will be there with PawPaw (don't worry Nanny, like Erin said, we will take care of him). Having the whole family together these last few days I know has made Nanny very happy looking down on us. I keep expecting to see her when I walk into the house, and have to stop myself from asking where she is. For such a little lady Nanny was always so indestuctable to me. Nothing ever seemed to get her down or make her mad. She was always so happy, and made everyone around her happy. If you were in a bad mood you could just go visit Nanny and it would make you happy. I love her and will miss her so much. I see her in the faces of my children, and know I have her to thank for helping teach me how to raise and care for them. I love you Nanny and will miss you so much.

My Nanny was the best person to be around. She loved everyone and even my friends, as her own. She taught me alot of things. She would spoil me and then tell me flat out when I was being a brat. You couldn't put nothing past her, my nanny knew everything. She always put everyone first, before herself. She was more than my friend she was my role model. I hope I have a family that cares for me as much as we all did for her. We didn't want to leave her side today until my cousin said she was up in heaven probably tellin us to get back inside because it was hot. Nanny's house will never be the same because she won't be there to walk me to my car like she had since I started driving. But Nanny I want you to know I will take care of PawPaw, it may not as well as you did because you have 61 years on me but I will try so hard. So don't worry about him, I've got him. I love you so much and always will. Don't ever forget about me, you said yourself I was your angel baby. I love you Nanny, your youngest grandbaby!

Even though I hardly knew Nanny I feel as though I know her well from the many stories and wonderful things said about her. I know she will be truly missed by all that loved her. May their special times and memories of her help them through this difficult time.

Even tho I am not blood related to Nanny, I have always felt as tho I was. I have many memories of her and it was always so much fun to visit and talk to her. My sister, Lynne and I talk everyday and Nanny is always brought into the conversation at some point. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Nanny was very special and loved by everyone.

A Tribute to My Mother
We were asked what Mom did; what she liked to do. In other words, who is Margaret Sandlin Haines? Each one thought for a moment, and in one voice answered, “Nanny! She’s Nanny.”
Well, what exactly do we mean?
Nurturing,
Always There When We Needed Her,
Never Angry,
Never Complaining,
Young at Heart.
Waking from surgery with IV’s, needles, and a diagnosis that would make many cry in fear, she smiled and nodded as if to say, “It’s okay; I am not afraid.”
Worried about us, she clung to life because we needed her. Only when we told her that we were at peace, and that she could rest, did she close her eyes to rest eternally in Heaven.
To be her daughter is a privilege; to be able to take care of her in her final hours was an honor and a spiritual journey that brought me to know Jesus, and to know that when my time comes, I will walk in Heaven – hand in hand – with my Mother, as Jesus leads the way.
