I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Nolan was one of those persons that you will always remember.

There were so many time I drove by the Nolan house and thought, I need to stop by and say hi, but I never did. Thats one thing I will always be sorry for.

My love and thoughts are with your family in your time of sorrow.
