Dear Bill & Dorothy: My thoughts and prayers are with both of you. The generation of Nissley’s that gathered for many years on Homeland Drive as a large extended family is nearly gone. The grandchildren have scattered far. I am sincerely sorry that I will not have the opportunity to come home for the funeral Mass and celebration of family. May you both remember with love and laughter the many years shared with your Mother.
With love,
Penny Nissley Rozelle, daughter of Charles & Marion Nissley.
Bill and Dorothy –
My deepest condolences for your loss. I remember your mom as a very loving and caring person. I hope that you both find strength in her passing. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Take care and God bless.
