So sorry to hear of Aunt Nola's passing. Just had one of those feelings, so I searched obituaries and found this one. Nola and I communicated off and on for years. She seemed like such a wonderful person and loved Nick's Dad, Neal, very much. Please accept our deepest condolences.
Judy and Nick Huff

Manola will always be remembered as one of the sweetest and nicest mothers of one of my favorite friends and classmates. Thoughts and prayers are with you, G.L., and all your family.
She was a nice lady. Her and my mom were roommates at the crossing at riverside in Searcy. It was good to have gotten to know her there. She will be missed.
Ms Manola was one of the sweetest ladies that I have met, also so friendly & kind. Such a lovable lady that will be greatly missed by her family & friends. Thinking of you Glenda & family.
One of the sweetest ladies I have ever know. An angel on earth and in heaven.
