Aunt Nevada and I had tried to stay in contact over the years. She was very special and had memories that she shared with me. I know she loved her family and was very proud of them all. I remember her and My Uncle Phil as being very close and know that the two of them are now together again. My heartfelt sympathy goes to her girls and her grandson. I will always remember her.

My husband, John, and I will miss Nevada. She was a cheerful, determined, and thoughtful neighbor. Not more than six months ago she told me, and not for the first time, that she enjoyed her home because it allowed her to sit in her own kitchen and watch the deer in her own back yard. That was admirable to me because she knew how she wanted her life to be and she enjoyed it. We are sorry she has moved on and we offer our deepest sympathy to Jill, Kimberley, and Andrew.
