Playoff experience offered 'memories that I will continue to cherish until the day I die'
Entire team became like family for Grantsville woman

A letter by Violet "Nanny Vi" Finzel
March 13 -- To the Northern Lady Huskies!

I am so proud of our NHS Ladies, this comes from my whole body, my heart, my mind. You have given me memories that I will continue to cherish until the day I die.

Not only do I love and cherish my great granddaughter Kaitlynn but love each and every girl on the team and feel honored to have become each and everyone of these girls Nanny as well. How could I go wrong being adopted by such a great bunch of young ladies. I love each and everyone of you.

Thank you from the bottom of my Soul for the wonderful year of memories you gave to me. I love you all ...

I also want to express my proudness for the NHS wrestling team and what a great job they did this year. I especially want to mention my great-grandson Adam Finzel for taking third in the state championship.

I've been so very Blessed and honored to be able to watch my great grandchildren "shine" and to be very much a part of it.

Nanny Vi
