What fun Nan, Chere and I had growing up together. There was no one like her! We did a lot of crazy things together and I have a lot of fond memories when it comes to Nan. I am thankful that she had such a great husband, Bob, by her side the last 13 years! We were blessed to have her in our lives.

My heart aches for you all.,,,,,,& I hope you know the depths of my sorrow to lose our dear Nan.
I tell myself she is in a better place, with her Mom, Dad, Kay & Buster.
She has left me with 30 years of silliness & laughter to hold me over. One could not have had a better friend. We really laughed & loved life up! I am proud to call her my BFF.
I am happy to know Bob, Courtney, Kyndal & Ed, the loves of her life, were with her. Alec, you were Lula's joy!
JoEllen, Fred & David, you are her rock solid support. No one could have been a better sister & brother & she will love you to the beyond.
Bob, Courtney, Kyndal , Alec & all, you are in my thoughts & prayers. xoxoxoDi

Love to all of you--Bob, Courtney, Kyndal, JoEllen, Fred, David and Alec. I loved her all my life and always enjoyed our "fussing" about me being one day older and she being one day younger. She will be missed, but I'm confident that we will see her again some day.

My precious little sis Kay and I prayed for you to be born, and you were a blessing, even though you were a handful when you were young, you were my best friend and my hero! Look for me, cause I will be there with you too one day.
