Stephanie and family, I just got back from a trip on Thursday and found out about "Nona". I am so sorry for your loss. She always made me smile when I saw her and I enjoyed talking with her about all the things she had been doing. Always so much energy and determination. I know she will be greatly missed. With my deepest sympathy,

My thoughts are with the family. My Mom, Sue, kept me posted of all the adventures she and Mary took. I hope they will once again have good times now that they are together.
