My condolences to the family of Mrs. Nellie. I remember her as another mother and a very good friend to me. Growing up and spending time with Georgette and Poochey was how I got to know Mrs. Nellie. She was always encouraging to me and always celebrated my successes. Since I moved away I would always make sure when I came to town to stop by to see her. The last time I saw her was shortly after Lyndell was married and she was so excited to see me as I was to see her. She thanked me for always stopping by and remembering her. I will miss her and those precious moments we shared. My pray for the family is to be encouraged she is present with the lord!

Lyndell and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful woman and will live on in the memories and stories you share. Lean on each other for strength and let your tears carry you to a more joyous time. I love you.

We have lost another beautiful, kind and loving Aunt. As so many have already mentioned, she had such a sweet and calm personality. Although we are deeply missing her earthly presence she is surely at peace now. We can be glad and rejoice that her loving spirit is now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I’m sorry that I can’t return to PA for her celebration service, however, I am glad that I was able to see Aunt Nellie, Eddie, Poochie, Georgette and other family members last Saturday. Be blessed and know that I will continue to pray for you and our family. I love you all.
