"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
Nonie took a lot of love with her as she journeyed into the mystic. She touched so many people with her heart, her smile, and just being genuine Nonie. She taught me many lessons that I'll carry for the rest of my days. As I continue with my journey here on earth, I will be miss her daily-but I look forward to sharing a chocolate cherry bomb in the afterlife. Love to you Cora, thank you for raising such a wonderful human being.
