I met Miss Julia Nelson only a few short weeks ago and she caught my heart in a matter of days. I worked the night shift at her home as her C.N.A. she was a very loving, caring woman and had a spirit that could put a smile on your face in a matter of minutes. She was always worried about what I was eating for dinner and if I got enough sleep the night before. I will forever remember Miss Nelson. May she rest in peace and God be with her family; you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
