Nola is forever going to be remembered happily and lovingly.  What a wonderful smile!    After I read my tribute to Nola and hearing others, I felt kind of silly mentioning 40 short years of friendship - almost everyone who spoke after me had known her since her childhood!  Actually, I've not known many people with whom I have ever felt so close.    It was so good seeing you and your entire family.  Kelly looked beautiful and was very social, William David so strong and supportive to his dad and all the speakers, Tom and Alayne were such a graciously beautiful couple and Kate showing so much strength and grace.   It was so sweet that young William spoke of his love he feels toward his grandmother.  It was hard to leave at 3 p.m.  The number of people whose lives Nola touched (and those were only the people who could be there that day) was really impressive.  I loved seeing so many of her friends I knew and some I knew, but did not realize they knew Nola.  There had to be over 200 people at Nola's Celebration of Life.  Truly, the number of lives she gently touched over the years could never be counted.
