Although I didn't have the privilege to know Nellie all of my life, but only got to know her when my son married her granddaughter, she made me feel as if I had known her a very long time. Her sweet demeanor and disposition just drew you to her and her big heart. When you looked at Nellie, you saw love. When I hear her granddaughter, Annie, recall memories of her, all I hear is love. It is because of love that her family and friends will always miss her, but it is because of the love she had...
