I love visiting my Aunt Nola and Uncle Jess when I was a young boy growing up. I will always remember setting at my table and writing her letters to let her know I was coming to visit. She would always take the time to answer me back. I thought it was wonderful to get a letter in the mail... Her passing brings me to tears, but her memory will remain in my heart for as long as I live. I'll see you on the other side Aunt Nola... I love you. Dennis
