I just want to pass my prayers on to you to and the family. I remember her as Aunt Leona she was always fun and easy to find at the Flynn gatherings. I also went on several camping trips with Uncle Bill and aunt Leona. They always turned our very adventuresome. The best way to descirbe this is just good times. Bill and Tom you were blessed to have such a wonderful mother and hold on to the awsome memories as she watches from above.

My mother (Judy) and I were saddened to hear the news about "Nonie". You have our heartfelt sympathy from my mom there in Ohio and myself here in Colorado.
As you know, Nonie was my "other mom" from my toddler years thru grammar school. I have fond memories of her, "Big Bill" and all the other kids she cared for all those years. I remember after school watching "Dark Shadows" and "Big Valley" in the lower level TV room!. Nonie taught me how to cook grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup (still a favorite on a cold day)!
Nonie was always there for me... When I stepped on a nail running from the backyard to the woods, she took me to the doctor. When I had strep throat, she kicked one of you boys out of your bedroom to isolate me from all the kids and care for me. (Sorry I hogged your bedroom, but remember a Farah Fawcett poster on the wall!) Nonie was so caring, loving and wonderful. I will always remember her and feel so fortunate to have had her in my life.
The loss of a mother is so profound. I can only imagine your grief. I wish we could be there with you now. But knowing that your family and friends are there for you will hopefully be of solace.
Please extend my sympathy to your family. You are all in our hearts and minds.
Respectfully,
Kelly
