"I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Nita through my grandma, Edna Byrd. Growing up I absolutely loved joining the "girls" for snacks at grandma's or for lunch at the mall. Nita was always so kind to me, and a wonderful friend to my grandma. My thoughts are with you all. "

"Dear Linda, Jim and family, Your mother always brightened one's day with her beautiful smile. She was a very good golfer. In 2004 or 2005 we visited with her while she was at the nursing home visiting Tom, and we were visiting my mother. She was excited to have gotten a new driver, she was probably around 89 or 90. Our condolences on the loss of your lovely mother. Steve and Sandy Simms"
