Nettie lived by the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. In her memory do an act of kindness, make someone laugh, send a card, give a hug, or say "I love you" to your family or special friend.
Lift up your heart, Peace be to thee, God wanted me. He set me free. It's my time to leave and be with my true sweetheart. Our mother's memory will be carried on in the legacy of love which is now within each of us - the lives she formed and touched by her love.
She was our Angel that lived, laughed, and loved.
