Running across a field full of rattlesnakes. The men yelling at us. We must’ve been guided by God because we made it to the truck without a scratch. We were so young, back then. I’ll miss our visits on the phone. My heart aches for all of us who were blessed to share knowing you. Good bye, my sweet angel. Til we meet again.
Your “sister”, Toni

My deepest sympathies to all. Necia lived with us when she was very young, and had just gotten married. I remember her as so beautiful and very sweet and kind. She was my first cousin. Sounds like she leaves beautiful memories, and we shall see her again! Love to all, and praying for you as your hearts grieve the loss of this lovely lady. Connie (Edmond) Wohlheter
