An amazing lady who touched the lives of so many.
Nuna was such a special person and such a blessing to our family. Kendra loved her dearly. We still talk about ‘the pincher’, what an excellent cook Nuna was, and how Kendra would come home with lipstick prints all over her belly. This wonderful lady will be missed.

Dear Theresa and Bobby,
I have so many fond memories of Nuna. She was a great neighbor and friend to me and a wonderful caregiver to my children.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Nuna was a very huge influence in my life, and was my babysitter for many years. I remeber her as a very kind and caring person. She was loved by her ‘Kids’, and remembered by all.
My condolences are with you in this time of sorrow. Emma was a sweet lady who always had a smile to share with every one she saw. I took care of Emma at the Oaks. She will be missed by all. You all are in my prayers and toughts In Love and Prayers Brenda Sizemore
