Nana was a wonderful woman. Words can not explain just how wonderful she was... She was so beautiful inside and out. We have many memories of sleep overs. She would always read the owl book to us in the room across from her and papas room and if we got out of bed she would start over again. She always put her family's need before her own. We remember watching old movies like Calamity Jane and would have pa pop the popcorn. There are so many memories...These are the memories that we must cherrish and be grateful for. She was one of the most beautiful ladies and we are grateful for her love, support, grace, protection and beauty. Our love and support goes out to the rest of the family. Thank you nana for all you did and all you gave! Until we meet again. - The Jolley girls

My deepest sympathy goes out to Amber's family. She sounds like a wonderful lady who touched lots of lives. And did God's will on earth. Now God has taken her home where she belongs. Sad for her loved ones but hope you find peace knowing she is in Gods hands. God Bless.
