I remember going to help Maher's hat and every time I would get there Nahldean was on her way out with the tractor. But always had a good story to tell, she was a hard working woman

Ma Maher was one the best people I have ever had the pleasuring of knowing. If we had more people like her on earth the world would be a much better place.

Growing up next door to Nahldean and her family was good. Nahldean and I went horses back riding many days mostly in the woods on the families farm. Many Friday nights I would be invited to go to a movie in Evansville with her Dad and two brothers and after the movie her Dad would stop and get us each a hamburger and malt. Their mother had already died at this time in our lives, I remember her as a very loving mother to her children. I have a lot of wonderful memories of Nahldean May she Rest In Peace.
