Nonie: I'll always miss you and remember all the good times we had and how you so enjoyed to come to visit me here in Florida. I remember the time we took you and Rita to Busch Gardens and the fun we all had that day! There were many times when all of us sisters got together and had a lot of fun and many times that all of us got into trouble too :) I love you and I'll miss you but I will be okay because I am strong as you always told me. Love Bedo

Nonie, I came into this world when you were only 14 yrs old. I understand you helped take care of me and when our mom passed away, when I was 21 yrs old, you became a second mom to me. We have loved each other for 79 yrs; cried and laughed together. There were many times we didn't see things the same way, but when things got rough, we were always there for each other. I did my best for you, with an open heart, the past 2 yrs since you were in the nursing home. Knowing you were not happy, sorry, but it was the only choice I had. You have wanted to be with Fred and Danny for 25 yrs. My only prayer now is you have no more pain and you are happy with God and the family you love so much. Goodbye, I'll see you when me meet again in Heaven! Love you, your sister, Bedo.

I remember how nice they were to all of us and especially took time to visit with us kids show interest in what was going on in our lives. Mrs. Greene was fun to be around. I will always remember them. Theresa Roach Parker

I was awakened the other morning by the warm glow of the sunshine streaming through my bedroom window but shortly there after the skies turned dark and gloomy reminding me that I had lost my dear Aunt the evening before, never again to see her smiling face or hear her sweet voice.

She is now at peace without pain and anguish, standing in the glow of our Heavenly Father. He brought her home after 94 years of service, her job here on earth now completed.

I had promised not to be sad or cry when it was her time as she said she was ready and wanted me to rejoice in her being with our Lord, Uncle Fred and her baby son Danny, but that promise I have broken. I hope she understands ..... she was truely loved.

As I set here today, I know that ray of sunshine was she; her spirit waking me with a soft gentle kiss on my cheek; telling me she had arrived in the Glorious Kingdom, surrounded by the love of God, her husbands strong arms around her while cradling her cherished son ....... A prayer she long awaited to have answered.

Your memory will always be alive and forever in my heart

I love you Aunt Nonie,
Linda
