Angels have given me this opportunity to try to find Nancy's brother, Billy Horn. I am so sorry about the loss of your sister. I have been trying to touch base with Billy. I have such fond memories of Billy being with my grandparents Clarie and Alice Albright. I have lost track of him and am wanting to make contact. My prayers are with the family.

Aunt Nanny, Your love has been a powerful influence in my life. It has changed me in ways that you may not know. It brought me through my trials at times when i needed your strength & wisdom to go on. It sometimes came in the midst of defeat, when i needed a shoulder to cry on. Especially after mom died & i was a mess. Most often your love has come through your silent support and your gift of just being there. Forever gone but Not forgotten!!! Please tell mama how much i miss & love her.. Angels may not always come when you call them, but they come when you need them. Nanny i need you..PLEASE give me a sign. Love always Carla~my~Darlin A.K.A Car Car

An Angel whispered
take my hand and
come with me
you're work here is done.
I went away to a place
where there's no tears, nor sorrow
only laughter and smiles,
there will always be a Tomorrow.
As I move amongst the clouds.
I'll look down and smile upon you,
while the angels
sing a heavenly song.
I am not alone
all who went before
are here
they awaited my return.
I know you'll grieve
and wish I was still here
I am here in the memories
you hold dear.
Remember how much I
love you
and know I took your
love with me.
I did not wish for
you to cry, nor feel sad.
My pain is gone and
I am Free!!!!

Long ago, more than 58 years ago two little girls met. One was dark, the other fair. They played and laughed together, and loved each other so. Today I walked down memory lane to those days. I walked through our childhood, our secrets never told. Kept going down the road, and not far away our paths soon led us to adulthood where many days were spent with new babies, which kept us busy to nights end.
So glad we had those moments that no one will ever know, for I will treasure them wherever I may go. As the road continued on we lost our parents and siblings and cried together. Now I feel Ive been left to cry alone.
I'm building my own little library, embedded in my heart, for all the moments spent with you, before you had to part. I can open it up whenever I like, pick a moment and watch it through, my little library acts as a promise, Ill never ever forget you. Until we meet, my sister, stay sweet and pure of soul, for you were and will always be the light within my soul. I will always love you, until we meet again. Everyone will love you Nanny Goat and have loving memories of you, as the little girls togetherone so dark and one so fair.
I love you Nancy......the pain and suffering is done. I will miss you until we meet again. Love your big sister Betty.

Nanny, I miss you so very much already. Life will never be the same again. You was the best Auntie ever!! Even though I miss you dearly, I feel a sense of peace because I know you are in heaven and no more suffering. I know Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Frank, and Uncle Billie welcomed you home with their loving arms. Bet you and mom are drinking coffee and catching up. I know someday we will all see each other again. Until then, watch over us... Love you, Kimmie Kay
