There are no words to say to help there are no thoughts that could ease the pain there is only time that will pass and has passed but with the help from God Above it will get easier may peace and God's love surround us all and may Gods grace and blessings fall upon my sisters and my family

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I was blessed by having 2 mothers, Nell for bringing me into this world and having the heart big enough to let Lavelle adopt me and raise me as her own. I loved both of these women. The greatest joy though is knowing that I have sisters that love one another. "Mom"

instilled that in us, even in her last days. That we were to love one another. Thanks for being a wonderful mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. May you rest in peace near that beautiful water.

My dear sisters, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there for you, but as you know, distance will not allow it.

I am sorry to say I have no memories of Nell, but I do know that I have some great sisters by her and Daddy. May the Lord comfort you all in this time of loss.

Debra Kay, Sharon, Pam, Darlene, and Gaye, I love you all and my prayers are with you.



Love your baby sister

Nell was and will eternally be my Sister - nothing can ever change the love we share for one another. I will miss her wonderful sense of humor, generous, caring nature and unrequited love. Precious nieces, you have my heart and I pray that God will be your protector and guide in this life. If we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior & Redeemer, and yield our lives to HIM, our goodbye to Nell is only for a short time - someday, we will rejoin one another on the other side. The sting of death has been taken away and the grave has no power over believers. I love you always and forever.

I also met MiMi online. She was a great comfort to me in some bad times in my life. She always had an upbeat attitude and a love of God that has been an inspiration to me. God Bless, my friend.

Families have a way growing up and moving away; however, the memories (no matter how faint or distant) live on to continue to bring us joy. I know that letting go of a parent is very hard to do. But know that many friends and your family have you in there prayers and thoughts. I truly wish each of you the best and all the strength you need to make it through this difficult time.

I love you all,

I have not seen Aunt Nell in over 30 years. During my childhood and teenage years, she and Uncle Johnny were very much a part of my life. Aunt Nell always had a place for me to stay if I needed it and I can remember that she always looked at the brighter side of things about life. That is the way I will always remember her.

I came to know Nell as MiMi in an online community she visited. She impressed us all with her grace and dignity and down-to-earth wisdom. I am truly saddened by her passing, and extend my sympathies to her family.
