Nedra and I moved into the 6th ward about the same time 20 years ago. Right away we were cast into the role of "mother and daughter" in a Relief Society play about the spirits of pioneer women visiting modern-day RS sisters. We've shared fond memories of that event ever since. I will miss her beautiful, creative, kind spirit. Book club was made richly rewarding by her comments and I thought her poetry was simply beautiful. I will miss Nedra, but look forward to seeing her again.

I'm so grateful to have had Nedra as a friend. She was full of wit, grace, eloquence, deep thinking, and charm. She was generous and talented, too. She endured years of painful treatments to extend the time she had to be with Udell and her family. She is irreplaceable. Sending love to each of her family members and friends!
