My darling sister, As Christmas approaches, I have a very heavy heart.
I STILL miss you so very much. I miss
your wisdom, your grace, your elegance,
and most of all I miss being able to turn to yoy when I need you and your love. This year has been tumultous,
and I still find myself thinking
"I will call Noni and ask her" before
reality catches me. I so look forward
to the day I will be able to rejoin you
FOREVER when we are both carefree, healthy, content and TOGETHER. Please know that you are always in my heart.

Marge.

Danny and Shelli, I was so sad to hear about your Mother. It is hard to believe. She was such a huge part of my life for so many years. Jimmy and Steve thought of us as one big family and have many memories of the times we were together. I feel so bad that we have lost touch and hope that we can talk again soon. Love, Barbara,Jimmy, and Steve (Munce) 303-420-1782

Aunt Noni,
I loved spending time with you when I was little. It was always so fun to go visit you. I was always very happy to see you as I got older, when you came to my children birthday parties and when I could come and visit you with my Mom. I will miss you. Give my Mom a huge hug from me!!! I always thought that you were such a pretty aunt and so very caring and sweet.
I love you Danny and Shell!!! I'm so sorry. If you ever want to talk, I understand and I am always here to listen.
Love,
Cheryl

Nonie, although I didn't know you very well , I always thought you were a most kind and gentle soul and I was always impressed with your quiet dignity. Chris thinks of you with fond memories that he will always cherish and we are both saddened by your passing. Rest in peace now. Love Chris and Marcie West

Dear Aunt Noni,
Somehow we just didn't get go know each other very well on this earth. Our vision isn't very good here, but I'm told that it will be perfect where you are now. I sure do envy you being in the presence of Jesus and getting to see my mom again - also Aunt Ardy. Please give anyone we both know a big hug for me. With each day I live, my heart slides a little more to the heaven side. I can't wait to see you and know you heart-to-heart this time.
Love you, Lola Dee

My beloved 'Baby sister', I will miss you every minute I live, until I can join you in heaven, when we sisters can all be together again. I promise you if there is any way I can be of help or comfort for your precious 'babies', Danny and Shelli, I will be there,any time, day or night.
I love you, beautiful and always elegant LADY, and will be there when God decides it is my time. I need you to protect me from my own all too often poor judgment, as you have so many times. You have been my guiding angel on earth and I love you very much. Your loving sister, Marge

Danny & Shelli, I will miss my baby sister more than words can say. I know this is terribly hard for you kids: if I can be of help in ANY WAY, just let me know. I have always, and will always love both of you. Your Mom was so important to me; my best friend and the most elegant, kind and thoughtful LADY I have ever known.
So long for now Noni until we meet again in heaven. I'm ready whenever God calls me. I love you. Your devoted sister, Marj.

Nola was a true friend. She listented, sympathized and was always humorous about tough situations. She loved the beach, I am so happy now she can go whenever she wants to. I will miss her.

AUNTIE (MY LITTLE BARBIE DOLL)NOW YOU CAN REST IN PEACE WITH THE ANGELS

I am shocked. I was looking forward to celebrating her birthday this month on the 16th. I met Nola in the 7th grade at Kearney Jr. High, lost touch with her then five years ago she called me just before New Year's Eve and we struck up our friendship again, going to lunches, dinners, The Brown Palace for high tea, etc. She NEVER mentioned she was sick. This last year, looking back, I realize she was not calling me like she had done in the last five years. My prayers go out to her children and sister Marjorie. I will cherish the memories of our young adulthood. Rest in Peace dear friend.
