Memories and Condolences
for Nellie Franklin

Not sure what to say?





Memories of laughter filled choir practices and dinners after church flooded my mind when I heard of ms. Nellie's passing. She was such a gentle and loving person. Sweet down to the core. You could hear her sing with that soft voice, but she was there singing every Sunday. Heaven surely picked up another Angel and there is no more pain in her body, Praise God! Wayne and I will be praying for you all in these coming days... for your peace and comfort that can come only from Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Love you all.

I am so sorry for your loss David and Julie. Nellie was a good old soul. She taught my my first cus word by mistake and she gave me my first bible at 10. I thought the world of her and remember so many things we did when a kid. She is in a far better place and and I prayed a lot for her after the treatment. Be glad she is liberated from her body and with the Lord. Love Always, Mike
