Nova Lee was one of a kind, I am honored that I got to take care of her these past few months, we shared a love of that good old 60's and 70's music and even though neither of us could carry a tune we sure had fun trying !! Prayers for Genelle, Tonya and the rest of the family.
So very sorry for your loss. Your in my prayers
Such a sweet spirit, take rest in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ
