This marks Nanny Faye’sfirst Thanksgiving without Todd, but she’s still finding a way to be thankful for what she does have.
“We just have to say that God’s not gonna put more on us than we can bear. Have I got a heavy heart? I most certainly do, but I cannot let the devil win,” she explained. “I’ll kick that can on right down the road … but I’m going to visit my son,wish I could visit my daughter-in-law.
