Dear Nana,

Hi! How's it up in heaven? I hope there are organs up there for you to play. The flowers at your funeral were beautiful. They would go good with that vase I bought you, the one that we weren't sure if the vase was pink or it was just the water color. I'm going to miss your hugs, but more than that, I'm going to miss you. I'm sure I'll see you again someday, but for now, get working on those lights. You know how impatient my mom is.


I love you,
Your Lexi Girl

John and family; I'm so saddened to hear about Mary Jane passing. You were good friends to my parents and myself. I know that she has been sick a long time, so this passing is probably a blessing, but still very painful, but know that she is in a better place in God's hands. You cared for her well. I wish you good health and happiness as you go forward without her. Clay

My love to all the Herbas and to Mary Jane's extended family and friends. Growing up next door to you all means so much to me, and the friendship John & Mary Jane maintained with my parents meant so much to them, too. Mom still talks about what a great hostess Mary Jane was when they visited in Florida and how generous both she and John were when they stayed with them. Lots of good memories of a happy life for you all.
