    Ninna, there are so many memories from my childhood of you but I will remember the most your love of Baron, playing piano in your living room, helping me make "pies" out of dirt and berries from your back yard, your love of bingo, learning to cook your recipes some of which I still make today with my own children, but the memory I will cherish the most is your sense of humor and your infectious laughter...I always loved that about you. Rest in peace Ninna and I love you.

    Charlotte, Andy, Lisa, I remember the first time I met your mother in Hawaii with your father. She was so full of life always had a smile on her face. I always admired how full of life she was. She was a remarkable lady. Sad to have her go but she will always be looking down on you.

    Dear Charlotte, Andy, Lisa, and Families, What a sweetheart, and dear, loving, mother was Reffa, I have some very fond memories of her. I would often see her before she was failing at the grocery store, though she wasn't always sure who I was. Still she'd always stop and chat lovingly about her family. You all made her so proud. . May you each find comfort and a smile as you remember her. Know that there is a new "angel" watching over you and your families, and that all is well with her. May Peace, and Love, comfort you, Let your tears be a note of love rising to Heaven.

    Dear Charlotte, Andy and Lisa, Reffa was such a fun and great lady! Lot's of fun on Andy's Boat with The Blessing of the Fleet!! She taught me everything I needed to know on how to sit on the back of the boat ledge and not fall overboard...!! God Bless you all, and I'm having great thoughts of your Mom and Dad being together again!! With Love, Vicki Qualter

She was allways special to me and was also always there for me, as she was for everyone else.No one could ever ask for a more special Aunt. She is now with her siblings and husband among others. Aunt Reffa "I love you and will miss you so very much". Enjoy Heaven------Love Corky I just want you all to know that she was also very special to me and my children, especially Maxie. She had a heart of gold that we will never forget. My love and prayers go out to the family. Love Margaret
