I had the privilege and honor of being this sweet doll's nurse for about two 1/2 years while she was on our service. She was such a blessing to me in so many ways. I enjoyed our visits and talks and loved listening to all of her stories. I know she will be missed.

Vicki and Ricky, I can hardly imagine that I am writing this. Life goes by so fast. Just yesterday we all ran around the neighborhood playing while our moms hung clothes on the line and visited over the fence. My heart is full of sadness that your mom has gone, but I know that she is happy again now and will watch over us... just like she did when we were all kids. I love you both.

I stayed with Aunt Nellie for a few months my senior year in high school and she treated me as if I was one of her own kids. I can still hear her laughter. Even though I didn't get to see her in the last few years, I thought of her often. She was my favorite aunt and a very special person to me. Please know that you are all in my prayers
