    Aunt Nonnie you will be truly missed. I remember when I was a little girl and coming to the house in the summertime, you always had my red freeze cup ready for me. You always had a beautiful loving smile. Proverbs 31:10-31 …Her children rise up and call her blessed;
    Her husband also, and he praises her:
     “Many daughters have done well,
    But you excel them all.”…
    Rest in the Lord’s Arms ❤

    My family would ride by this house that would be decorated every Christmas with more decorations then you could ever imagine. It was a delight to see and my children Loved it. I know it was a lot of hard work and LOVE that went into it every year. Well, last year those lights and decorations weren’t up and we started to wonder why. We speculated but now we know. We are so sorry for your loss. May the Lord bless your family and hold you close.

    Thank you, Mrs Davis for bringing JOY every year to many people with this selfless act.
