“Your gonna give her all your heart…

then she’ll tear your world apart, your gonna cry a little while, then she’ll leave you with a smile” (George Strait, 1997).

In the case of my niece, Ava Claire and Nolan, she didn’t tear his world apart. Just his grill, storage building, and the new bush he just planted. She did all of this one afternoon on his golf cart, while in reverse! Lol!!

Ava Claire and Nolan were always doing some dancing in the kitchen, cutting up and having fun! We have a lot of videos of them two, but like my sister said, they didn’t stay still for many pictures.

Ava Claire and Nolan had a special bond. When she met him she couldn’t say Nolan plainly, so she called him Noylan for a while. She would quickly tell you, if you weren’t behaving, that she would tell Noylan and he would arrest you!

Their bond was a beautiful one to see! And that little girl sure misses him. Nolan was great with children and they knew he cared about them and love them. He will always be forever in our hearts and forever in our fondest memories.
