Aunt Nadine

J.D.'s Aunt Nadine passed away on Andee's birthday, November 7th. She had a funeral 2 days later. aunt Nadine meant so much to J.D. and I. Her and her husband, Dale, helped us so much when we lost Andee M'lee because they too lost a little girl 69 years ago. She never got to see her baby girl because back then, they took the baby away because they thought it was better for the mothers to not have any further attachment. They thought it helped with coping....little did they know back then. Society has come a long way and I'm grateful for the time we got with Andee. When they told us she died, all we could think of is her meeting her little girl. The funeral was so neat because they put the casket on the wagon and went to the grave sight. All of her children rode on the wagon too. The coffin was hand made by one of her sons as well. it was beautiful.

We will miss her, but we are so happy that she finally gets to see her little girl, Nancy.
