Dear Holly and Greg,

I happened onto this site today due to another's dear one's passing. I want to extend my condolences about Nona. She was
an amazing woman and she truly was like a second mom to me when
we were growing up on Penn Drive. She was so warm and caring,and
had a terrific sense of humor! You are truly blessed to have had Nona as your mother.I have such fond memories of playing at your house with you Holly. It makes me very happy to remember those times. I loved Nona and my mom was also very fond of her. I am sure she will be fondly missed by everyone whose lives she touched. May you be consoled in this time of mourning by her memory. Love, Lori

Dear Holly,,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. My thoughts are with you and your family.

My mom, sister & sons always felt Nona was a member of our family. We loved & admired her & always will. We so enjoyed hearing about the trips and activities she shared with our mom & visiting with her at the Woodland House. She was an inspiring woman.

Holly and Greg, we have such fond memories of your mother, Nona. She always reached out to us, shared humor, grace, strength and embraced life fully! She will be missed and in our hearts. We wish you love and comfort during this saddened time.

I remember her warmth, cheerfulness, and big welcome smile from beach days. May her memory be for a blessing. May your wonderful memories comfort you and the care and love if family and friends sustain you in this difficult time.

Although we never met your mother, we understand that she was an incredible women that a wonderfully long life. Our condolences on your loss.

My condolences to Nona's family. I lived across the hall in 6K. Such a lovely lady and great neighbor. I loved sitting and talking to her, especially after I retired. She loved her family very much, her independence too. The blue "NONA" was always on the go.

Dear Hollis,
Although I never met your mother, I can see by the shared memories that you are a chip off the old block! You are lucky to have been blessed with a mother of such substance. We send you kind thoughts and generous feelings at this time.

Holly & Greg---Sadly, another Florence Nightengale has left us. Nona was truly a compassionate woman who listened and never was critical and knew how to get to the heart of the matter. I had the pleasure of working with your mother at the Apothecary Prescription Center and at Arrow. She had a following like no other on Wednesdays. Even though she had some personal problems she would struggle through the day so as not to disappoint. Over the years we kept in touch over lunch or at Christmas dinner. She was welcomed into our family. We will miss her. All our heartfelt sympathies. Richard & Andrea

Nona opened her home for AJRN meetings and parties.

Best food--left over meals--so good- glad to be a quest.

Dear Holly and Greg,
Waiting until the "right words" come for such a memorable person as your mother is a recipe for no words at all! My former wife Mary Jo, children Peter and Christina, and I have all been immeasurably touched by your mother. As you know, my son Peter was the initial recipient of the French horn you mother generously donated to The Hartt School. (Peter returned it last summer so that another student may benefit) This is just the beginning of the story. Not only did Peter love the horn (thank you, Greg), but we all came to love your mother. We invited her to attend one of Peter's concerts at Hartt, and a great friendship began. Nona was absolutely delightful, and her loving interest in our lives was extraordinary. Not surprisingly, whenever possible we included her in attending Peter's concerts over a two-year period prior to his high school graduation. Her pride in each of you was always on display, and we came to cherish you at a distance. Our contact trailed off once Peter went to college, and I regret several false starts at visiting her despite having moved into Woodland House. I am so glad that I did see her at the pool occasionally and spoke by phone. None of us will every forget her or our good fortune in knowing her. We are better people for having benefited from her presence in our lives! Love from Greg, Mary Jo, Peter and Christina Andrews.

May she rest in peace.

Condolences on the loss of your Mom. I remember you parents very well from when they socialized with my parents Len and Helen Karotkin. Your Mom was always interested in what I was doing and very engaging. I played golf with my Dad and your Dad at Stanley golf course,
