I had the honor of knowing Nera in 1961 at Nashville Business College. She was a most humble person and the best basketball player that I have ever seen play. God bless the family. I know she will be sorely missed.

I was privileged to watch Nera play basketball on a number of occasions in the 1960s. Never have seen a better player before nor since then. She was simply the best! My heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends as you grieve this loss and as you remember Nera for the person and the superstar she was
