My sincere condolences to the entire McFadden family. I didn't know Mrs McFadden personally. I only knew of her thru her son Jim who spoke of her often. I'm sure she will be missed by all. Capture your memories of her and hold them in a special place in your memory as the photographs in this memorial have done.

MY GRANDFATHER JAMES N. CHARSHA WAS THE BROTHER TO LITTLE NELL'S MOTHER, NELDA MARIE FANNING. SO THE CHARSHA FAMILY KNEW HER AS LITTLE NELL. MYSELF AND THE PERRYVILLE, MARYLAND CHARSHA'S ALL SEND OUR CONDOLENCES.

Nelda was my grandmother, we never called her anything but Nanny. I feel lucky to have had her in our lives for so long. Let's hope we all inherited her longevity gene.

WHAT A WONDERFUL THING FOR YOU TO HAVE NELDA UNTIL HER 99TH YEAR.
IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY GENEAOLOGIST, I LIKE TO HEAR FROM HIM/HER. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS ELIZABETH MCFADDEN KEEGAN WHO DIED IN 1939 IN PHILADELPHIA. I THINK HER FATHER WAS A PATRICK MCFADDEN. I'M SURE HER UNCLE WAS JAMES MCFADDEN OF PHILA. BUT WHO MOVED TO YORK, PA. IN 1920. USE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS TO CONTACT ME. BARBARA VALLE
