Mrs. Nimick was always so kind and thoughtful. God picked this day for her to join her husband. Now, they are both watching and keeping an eye on things.
She was always available for our yard sales. We all enjoyed many years of fun.
Thanks to all her Family for sharing such a nice lady with me.

I will miss you so much Mommy. I enjoyed you living with me the past 3 years. We had fun shopping and going out to eat and of course watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. You were a huge part of my life and I will forever carry you in my heart. It was a privilege to be with you until the end. Love you, Helen
