Dear Family, may it help you to know that many thoughts and prayers are with  you during this time of deep sorrow.  I have many fond memories of my cousin and of us playing together as children.  I always called her by her nickname "Girlie". 

With deep and heartfelt sympathy,
Cousin Carol Nixdorf (Daughter of the late James and Rosaline Nixdorf)
