We are sorry for your loss. We met Greta in 1998 when we moved in 2 doors over. We instantly loved her. She had the most amazing garden and beautiful yard. She was a pleasure to have as a neighbor. Your family is in our prayers.
We want all of your family to know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your family is very special to us.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Nichols family. Many great memories of time spent in Grandma’s kitchen.
