Although we only knew Nell for the past 10 years, she quickly became part of our family. She was always ready for a 'cut-throat' Rook game or a trip to try a new restaurant.
We will truly miss her and her quick wit and her great smile. May God be with you during this time of sorrow. We look forward to seeing her in heaven later. Our prayers are with you.
