To all the Hansom family, our hearts are with you. Nell was such a wonderful woman, and will be missed. My fondest memory of our time in the ward was Nell trying to convince me to learn to tat! Her skill was superior and I was amazed by her beautiful work. I wish I had taken her up on it!! I am always grateful for the wonderful people who come into our lives on our mortal journey ~ Nell was one who left a lasting impression. Our sincerest condolences.
