NOLA WAS MY UNIVERSITY "LITTLE SISTER". I soon discovered about her.there was nothing "little" about her. She was an old soul, with bounding love, energy, humor,caring and compassion for everyone with whom she came in contact. She taught me how to expand my world and my love for others. We had mountains of stuffed animals in out dorm rooms. Nola taught me that when you talk to the furry beasties they talk back! This realization providedus with many hilarious scenarios during our time at school together. Throughout the years, she has always graciously included me in her ever-growing family, and always signed her messages, "Love you, Sis". Nola will always be my sister, my loving friend, my light.
