Jim Harvey, this is a sad way to be reminded what you and Nell meant to Miki and I in days past. I have a friend that reminded me that it is probably better that the bride goes through the door before the groom because it would not seem right that we be frolicking with the angels on the streets of gold while our beloved is still in the vail of tears.
My best to you and your family and we all shall have such fond memories of a special and beautiful woman.

I will miss you. It was great to have you as a special caring aunt. I have so many childhood and adult memories. I admired your strength and humor. You taught me more than you could ever realize. You were the last of your childhood family I know they were waiting at the gates of heaven to welcome you home. Save a place for me until we meet again. Loved you always.
