When I was about nine years old. Aunt Nanette gave me a glass necklace in the shape of a mouse when we visited her store. She told me it was very expensive and to be very careful with it. Later, I was crying and holding the necklace. My parents asked what was wrong. I told them I was afraid to wear the expensive necklace because I might beak it. They laughed and explained it was not really an expensive necklace. I still have that necklace to this day. Thank Aunt Nanette!
Where to even begin? Nan’s smile was larger than life. We danced, laughed and cried together. She taught me a lot. One Saturday she called me to see what I was doing for dinner. I explained that I was getting ready to paint the exterior door on the house. The next thing I know, she was pulling in the driveway to help me paint that door and doorframe. We had a little radio on. She made painting that door fun. We went out for supper afterwards. I love her more than words can describe and friends like Nanette Roberts do not come a long everyday. I am blessed by her friendship. We only get one life to live. I am glad she shared her life with me. She will be missed and never forgotten. Prayers of comfort to the family. May God richly bless them.
I should wear my glasses when using my phone. It should read break not beak and thanks not thankߙ„

Nanette, from all of your family at Joe & Jonesy’s, thank you for coming into our lives. For me you were always a calming presence and always ready with a smile and a hug. I hadn’t seen you in a while but you were always close to my heart.
The smile that could light up any room.. You will be missed more than words can tell!
Fond memories of Nan! A beautiful person inside & out! RIP our friend!
