I will always have fond memories of Mrs. Nicol as she walked her little dog Coco. We often met on the road and chatted as I walked my little dog Roger. She did not have the opportunity to get to know my latest little dog Ava over the last year because of poor health but when we did meet we would have the best talk. Her flowers were the topic of conversation every time we passed her house when I walked with my grandchildren to the mailbox. She had once given them each a flower and they never forgot her. She will be missed when I pass her home and will always be fondly remembered. Condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to Harold and all the extended family
