Dear Mrs. Nettleton: I was reading a friend's obit. the other day and noticed the name Nettleton which I remembered from my home town of Cheshire, CT. After reading obit. for your late husband I read that he too was from Cheshire and I remember Nettleton family on Bethany Mountain Road and possibly one on South Brooksvale Rd. My Mom Emma Trayner owned a beauty shop in Cheshire in the basement part (back) of the Humiston building on Rt 10 across the street from Cheshire High School.
I am so sorry to read of your husband's death, you were together for so many years and it is now so difficult for you to live your life without him.
Having lost my first husband to cancer in 2005, I know and understand your pain. I can only recommend that you give all of your pain and difficulties coming to terms with your loss over to God, he will carry you and help you.
Very sincerely,
Lindsay Trayner Glew Paolillo
