Dearest Mrs. Novis,
Thank you thank you for the opportunity of knowing you and having you in my life. I so value the sharings we had together. The laughter, the caring, the hugs. My life has been blessed in knowing you. I know you are truly blessed now as always.
Thank you for your friendship.

A very happy customer.

Mrs. Novis will be greatly missed, especially her manner of focusing on details. I loved the fact that she conducted her business in an "old school" style, never using calculators or computers. She was a whiz doing all her calculations long-hand. Her shoes shall never be filled. I only knew her a brief period of time and I feel for her loss. I cannot imagine how those close to her must be hurting. Be blessed in knowing someone like Mrs. Novis.
