Nola Nygaard

While I know that life is fleeting, it feels far to short a time that we had Nola. She and I lived together for the last 18 years, and with very few exceptions we got along well. As Nola said, it helped that we worked different shifts, and had two bathrooms.

Nola was kind and interested in people, all the people that she associated with. I miss her more than I ever thought. She is busy getting on with her assignments, there is much work to do in the next life. She is worthy of...

Nola is also my oldest sister, and like Arna and the rest of my family we all love her very much. My children Caryn, Cassie, Chip and Courtney are all grown and they still call her Auntie Nola. It's funny, they say life goes on, but the days won't be the same, and how will we keep track of the days when it was Nola who gave us each our calendars every Christmas?
Truly life is not going to be the same.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for your family at the loss of your dear sister.

Nola is my oldest sister, thus I have known her all my life. Nola and I would go shopping after she got off work, or on Saturdays. Not necessarily to buy anything, but just to see what the stores had and I think mainly to people watch.

On one of my vacations, Nola introduced me to the Eat It & Beat It Restaurant. Great food, eclectic atmosphere, fun,fun place.

We had our traditions together, and I will cherish them forever.
