Happy "Belated" Birthday to Me!

This little girl, me, turned 85 years old on January 27th and forgot to post it on our family blog.  I'm a proud mother of 4 daughters, a son (deceased), 6 granddaughters, 3 grandsons, and 5 great-grandsons.  So blessed to have lived this long to enjoy my family that I love so much.  Happy Birthday to me!

Happy 60th Birthday, Kathy!

On January 21, 1966, my daughter, Kathleen (Kathy) Love Boyd Day, was born at 4:21-½ in the morning. She is 60 years old today and the only daughter out of four, who is a deer hunter. In this picture, we were hunting at Homewood Hunting Club in Claiborne County, MS, back in the early ’20s. We have had some fantastic hunts together and made some good memories. I’m wishing Kathy a very Happy 60th Birthday today. Have a Blessed one, Kathy! I Love you, MOM xoxo

John Edward "Johnny" Nicholas's Obit

John Edward "Johnny" Nicholas passed away on Sunday, November 16, 2025, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He was 86 years old. John was born in Winnsboro, Louisiana on January 18, 1939. He was the only child of James Otis and Mary Viola Nicholas of Crowville, Louisiana.

John is survived and will be greatly missed by his son Dennis Nicholas and wife Suzi of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and his two wonderful grandchildren, Emma and Katherine.

Affectionately known as Daddy, Pa Paw, Uncle Johnny, and Mr. Johnny, he was a devoted member of Crossway Church. John retired in 2015 from his career as a maintenance supervisor at Complex Chemical Company of Tallulah, Louisiana.

John had a lifelong passion for all things mechanical. His mother told a story about how he repaired his father's malfunctioning carburetor at age eight. Despite losing his right hand in a workplace accident at age 21, John worked for 55 years as a mechanic, never considering giving up on the career he loved. He spent many enjoyable weekends repairing and rebuilding small engines and his neighbors' cars and trucks. One of John's greatest joys was his grandchildren, and he doted over them like only a grandparent can.

Visitation will be held at Glenwood Funeral Home in Vicksburg, Mississippi at 10:30 AM Saturday, November 22, 2025. Funeral services will immediately follow at 11:30 AM with Reverend TJ Tennison officiating. Burial will follow at Crowville Masonic Cemetery in Crowville, Louisiana.
