Aunt Nonie would always let me come to stay with her as a little child. I would go back and forth to stay with her and grandma and grandpa Brown. I loved to come stay with her because I always felt loved and could enjoy my childhood in the country. She made the best fried chicken and sweet tea! The only time I loved sweet tea because she gave it TLC. She was an amazing aunt and also an amazing mom to her three daughters Mindy, Cortney and Kayla. We love you girls and now Aunt Nonie can spread her beautiful angel wings and fly high with joy. She is the lucky one with family all around her to celebrate. Much love to all of the family. Peace and comfort be with you.

My dearest and oldest friend, oh how you will be missed. But knowing you are in a better place, and you are "you" again, is a great blessing. Spread your wings and fly high Nonie. The greater the love, the harder the grief.

Aunt Nonie was always so good to me when I would visit Texas as a child. We also shared a birthday! It has been many years since I have seen her, but I will always remember how much fun I had staying at her house next door to Grandma and Papa Brown's. Hugs to Mindy, Courtney, and Kayla. I remember watching her when you were young, and learning from her, because she was such a nurturing mother. She will always be remembered!
