Lenda Lee Nickell
She was Momma, My Aunt Tea, My Maw, My Faith. She found me when I was just a little girl when I Moved on Buena Ave in Middletown ohio. She took me in like God sent her to Protect me. She was my Faith. There wasn't a day that went by I wasn't with her. Every Sunday Lenda and Granny and Papaw would pick me up in Granny's little green car and we head to Sunday School. After church on sundays we all gather at Lenda house on Buena for Sunday Salads. With me and my Lenda would take Sunday Naps until evening church. The blessing this woman blessed with. I know I was her little girl Sonni Leigh. The church camps with our church Calvary Baptist church on Jackson Lane. All my child Hood MEMORIES was with Lenda Lee Nickell. You will always be with me. I LOVE YOU MOMMA LENDA LEE
