To many memories, and wouldn't know where to start... As I look through these pictures, I love seeing how Aunt Leona never lost the sparkle in her eyes. I've missed not seeing her over these past years. And now she is at peace.
I love you Aunt Leona and sometimes when I laugh, I actually hear you...

Special thoughts go to Butch for taking care of you when you needed someone. We will miss the good times and hope to spend time with you someday, Butch. Love to all. Janice Nelson.
