Nelly was a wonderful Nurse and a special woman that I had the pleasure of working with most 3 days a week often all day long .She was clearly the best O.R. Nurse and taught many other Nurses. Such a wonderful lady that often spoke about her family especially here Grandchildren. She has done so much in her life for so many. She has made and impression in my heart and I am so sure many others she will live in our Hearts Forever.God Bless You Nelly

Nelly was the best sister-in-law you could ever have. She was a fine Christian woman who loved her family first and foremost. Albert was truly a lucky man when he married her.

Love,
Marsha, Russell, Marleigh and Russ
