Peggy & Family,
Nelda was as you know a very near and dear friend of mine and Chris's. I loved going places with her and making cookies in her kitchen. Chris enjoyed working with her in her garden in the summer. She was our first friend when we moved here to Covington and we will miss her dearly. Our hearts and prayers are with you always.
