To the entire Wingo family, please accept my sincerest condolences of the passing of your beloved Nova. I never got the pleasure of meeting her in person, but the stories I have heard from Denis she sounded like someone I would have loved to have spent time with since I also love crafting and knitting. I know your love for her is endless and she will be greatly missed in your lives. I hope that the wonderful memories you shared with her all throughout your lives help to bring you comfort during this very difficult time. On these cold winter nights, hold those hand knitted treasures she made especially for you a little closer tonight. God bless.
Love,
Cindy Caul
