Dear Scionti Family,
I will remember her coming to the Johnston's Pool with her grandchildren. We had great times in the backyard on those hot summer days. She was a kind lady. God bless you all in this time of sadness.

Dear Leo and family,
George and I were deeply saddened to read about Nellie's passing. We enjoyed having her as a very thoughtful and caring neighbor for over thirty years. May her soul rest and peace and may God bless you with comfort and strength during this most difficult time.

Dear Scionti family,
I always remember your mother's trip to San Francisco, her warmth and happy spirit. My friend Debra said she was ''her rock.'' I lost my Mom a year ago. The loss of a mother cannot be described. I wish you all peace. In Nellie's memory a donation will be made to the Cape Cod Homeless Shelter for Women. Independence House. I wish you peace. Ellen Anderson

To the Scionti family, but especially to my forever friend Lori, my heart aches for you. Your mom was a gem. And she has three beautiful girls who are a testament to that. I am thinking of you.

Lynne, please accept my deepest sympathy at the loss of you Mom. I would see her and your dad at church and she would share me how you were doing. It has been awhile since I have seen her and I often thought of her and how she was doing. I am sure you will treasure wonderful memories of her.
