I gave you a plaque years ago. The words "Chance made us sisters-in-law. Hearts made us friends". It was on your wall. Now it hangs on my wall. I remember you every time I look at it.
And miss you.

Nan -
I just learned of your parents' death. Shortly before your Mom's death I had been searching for a new potluck recipe and came across the cook book your mom gave me as a wedding gift - it was from the Arlington ISD Nutrition Staff. As I looked through the pages I reminisced on our fun times at JBHS.

I will miss you dear sister-in-law. I shared some great adventures with you..our trips to Canton flea market, our road trip to Mall of America, our trips to New Mexico where we were both born. Hug my brother for me. Love you forever.

Aunt Wanda I am going to miss you more than you will ever know. You made me smile so many times in my lifetime. Your devotion to my son that is in the Air Force made my heart so happy. I was always welcomed into your home with open arms and hugs. I love you and will see you on the other side.
