WOW....what great memories of Nona, Darlene, Judy and Mac and Greta McClure!! Our families frequently got together for playing cards - and a snack - always at midnight - all before the days of TV!! Judy - remember when Nona and I walked from Potter Park, to your home (almost) on Wieland Road? We were about 5 years old! We stopped frequently along the way, to "take turns" crying. Our prayers are with your family. Ray and JoAnn Chase [email protected]

I cant believe Nona is gone,I just talked to her after Jeff passed,we had lost contact over the years,and it was so good to visit with her. She never told me she had Cancer at that time,maybe she didnt know. My prayers go out to Todd and the rest of the family. Nona and I spent 2 yrs in nursing school together riding back and forth to LCC. We studied ,cried and finally graduated together,even worked at Sparrow for a time together.She was such a kind,loving person,and a wonderful nurse. I had looked foreward to seeing her sometime ,but never got the chance. God bless her and her family.
