Our beautiful Nana made her grand entrance into Heaven on July 19, 2014. She showed us the true meaning of strength time and time again but ultimately God had plans to reunite her with Papa and our other loved ones. We are all very proud of the life she lived here on earth. She loved unconditionally, forgave easily, gave generously and brought so much happiness to our lives. She had a heart of gold and was always the life of the party. Our faith tells us that we will meet again someday in Heaven, perhaps at the roulette table, the dance floor or "the club." Carol J. (Reau) Gorman, born in Toledo, Ohio, she moved to Columbus and graduated from St. Joseph Academy where several classmates became lifelong friends.
