The memories of I have of “Poppa” Shank will continue to live on, although he will be missed. The family gatherings are imprinted in my mind and tracked in my heart. Nanny Joyce, our prayers are with you during this hour of bereavement. Remember that this is not the end, but a transition to a new beginning.
