Dear Valery, Marni, and the boys, I loved your mother!
Lorraine V. and I were her Visiting teachers back when we went to R. S on a weekday. One time I backed from Sharon S. driveway (we had just visited her) and ran into your brother's car. I don't remember a big deal about it so I'm sure your mom must have handled it. I remember Marni didn't crawl she sat straight-backed with one knee up and hopped. Your mother always had a ready smile! We didn't go to lunch or other places together I think we just had fun at church. Broke my heart to hear she passed. I am thankful she didn't suffer as long as she could have. Be strong. I am thankful knowing we will see our loved ones again. May the Lord bless you all! Much love, John and Ivie Phippen

I was blessed to know Nona for a short period through work. She was so positive and bright light in everyone's day. My heart hurts knowing she is no longer here to give her hugs but I'm grateful she is no longer in pain and reunited with her loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
