I will miss my granny so very much! She was the best granny anyone could ever ask for!I only wish that I could have spent more time with her. I am so glad that we made it up there in April to spend the week with her. That week and all of my other memories of her will be cherished forever. Granny, you will never be forgotten! I will always love you!

Phillip & family - I was sorry to hear about Aunt Nellie's passing. I am ashamed to admit that it has been years since I have stopped by to see her. I enjoyed each visit with her and Uncle Preacher when I spent my summers in Portsmouth with my grandparents.
