To Cousin David, Peggy, and family. Aunt Nagatha and Uncle Cy bring back fond memories as a kid growing up. We would make our annual trek from Michigan to Tennessee every summer to visit family. As a kid I remember how boring Ohio was, then it got interesting in Kentucky and Tennessee with all the hills and mountains. Our trips included a stop at their house in Telford. I remember arriving at their place and my dad always hugging his little sister with a big smile on his face. He had a funny way of pronouncing her name and it made me smile. I remember playing on that piano in your front room and being warned to stay away from that broken down shack near their place because it was full of bees. I have/had three Aunts with very cool and unique names: Nagatha, Remonia, and Pauline! I wonder how Grandma came up with them. Aunt Nagatha was full love of hospitality, and the food was always great!!! I wish you all the best during this difficult time. With love, Scott.

David and Peggy , my thoughts and prayers are with you both at this difficult time. So many memories of my Aunt Nagatha Ann. The laughs shared with her, Aunt Pauline and my Mom. She made the best homemade biscuits. The last time I saw her was 2014. We all went to her house and visited her and your Dad. I know all to well the pain of losing your Mom. Take care. Love you, Theresa
