To Nellie Earwood's Family, we were so sorry to learn of Aunt Nellie's passing. We just heard today or else we would have come for her service. It is such a comfort to know that she now is with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and though we will miss her we will one day be reunited with her in heaven. We pray that you will have the comfort of God at this time and in the days ahead. You will be in our prayers. God bless you all.

To Mom from Your loving son Floyd:
You will be missed very much, but I know you are in heaven with Dad now. I love you so much and I will miss you dearly. Thank you so much for bringing me up the best way you knew how. I appreciate every thing you did for me growing up. I know we did not have much but you did everything in your power to make it. I saw you work so hard at the laundromat. I could not believe you had to work that hard for us. I am very grateful to have been your son. I just wish sometimes I could have been a better son for you. It was a blessing to be with you in the last days of your life. I just could not believe your strength that kept you going. I know God is in control and he guided you through this time. What a wonderful mom you were.
Floyd Wilson Earwood Jr.

I am glad that your mom, grandmother and great-grandmother is with God now as she is no longer suffering as she needs to rest in peace. Please accept my condolences to all the members of her families in the Fort Worth area and elsewhere.

Kathy, I know how you feel about losing your mom. Mom is the best friends as we get closer to her. I do know your mom is resting from a long illness and she needs to go up and be with her late members of your families. She is with her mom & dad, her in-laws, and her husband, 2. She may visit them up in heaven.

Just take it easy, Kathy. We can hug you all from all of us, who love you here at Heritage Square Assisted Living. Please take care of yourself and we hope to see you all here at Heritage Square. With love from all of us here at H.S. Please think of your happy memories of Nellie Mae Earwood and smile :)!
