    I am heartbroken! I will miss you more than any one can imagine! We haven’t spoken in a long while! Only on a FB! Working with you was one of the most happy memories during my nursing career! Such a caring and loving person!

    After my talks with God I will ask Him if I can speak with you! Rest in the Arms of Jesus!❤️

    My condolences to your family.

    I was Program Director when Nona worked for Hospice out of McComb. She took excellent care of her patients and family members. She was never one to complain. She loved her family dearly and I know her beautiful spirit will be missed. Many prayers for the family.

    Nona will be greatly missed by family and friends. She always made you feel better and gave of herself to everyone. I’m sure you are in heaven now smiling. I had the privilege of working with you on a Navajo reservation

    I loved Ms Nona & I believe she loved us too. My late husband Mike was a hospice patient of Nona’s & was like family to us. I will miss her so much! Nurse Nona to the Rescue was our motto! RIP!

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. Nona and I go back to when our kids were young, spent time cooking gumbo and playing cards. She was always happy and loved everybody. God has a new angel in heaven.
