Never forget the memories and that’s one thing that will forever stay with me and I’m truly sorry Elbert much love too y’all’s family
I will miss you Aunt Nadine. The sweet spirit you had. The laughs and fun we had picking out a Christmas tree every December when we were young. The smile you had and laugh was contagious . I will remember you always.
You will be missed in a way I can’t explain. Some of my very best memories were spending time with you and Leon when I was little. Eating frozen peaches, cane poll fishing in the tank, looking for the gold fish in the cow’s water trough, picking out Christmas trees in the back pasture, and running from the bull are just a few of my treasured memories.
I named my daughter after you, and I’m so very glad she got to meet you.
God bless you, say hello to mom, dad, and Loen for me. Love you.
I will make sure Tessa Nadine hears stories of you as she grows up. Thank you for loving our family.
I am so sorry for your loss Elbert, I loved your mother so much. Heaven has gain a beautiful soul.
