I’m sorry to hear this! She was my bowling partner for a few years, we had so much fun together! She was always laughing and joking around!
So sorry to hear of Nona’s passing. May God bring comfort and peace to her family.
I went to high school with her. She was always the life of the party. I am so sorry to hear this.
Nona was a special person….everyone’s friend. We are glad to have known her. Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s not tickling those ivory keys along with the angels’ harps right now.
So Sorry for the family’s loss, I never met her but only heard of all the wonderful things about her that her family spoke of. May you all have peace in knowing she is well and now with the Lord!
A rose among the thrones, a friend and buddy for many years.. always a smile and encourager, she will be missed. Jim and Evelyn Wiggins
