I have known Nona 30 years she was always so kind and was always so happy to see me giving me a hug a smile and a kiss on the cheek. I am grateful for knowing her and so is the rest of my family. I am sure her homecoming was a wonderful one and she was greeted not only by all the friends and family thats have gone before us but by her savior. God Bless you Nona.... till we meet again.
