I have known Nova my entire life, she babysat me, later I babysat Gene, Dean and Seth. Much of our lives we were as close as sisters, sadly we had drifted apart over the last 11 years. My heart breaks for Ronnie and her much-loved sons. She is no longer griefing the loss of Terry Wayne, Dorothy and Buck. She takes a piece of each of your hearts with her. I loved Nova and I love each of you. May God comfort you and you cherish the memories that she left.
