Shirlee, Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Nell was a first cousin. We didn't see her often but enjoyed talking and visiting when we did. She was a lovely lady. We only heard of her passing tonight and so sorry that we didn't get to attend her funeral. May you find comfort in your precious memories and may God bless you.

Shirley, I want to convey to you and your family my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your mother. Bob sends his sympathy to you as well.

I knew Nell all of my life. She was such a lovely lady. In a recent phone conversation with her, I told her when I was a small girl how I admired her beautiful face and I always wished I could look like her. She was happy to know that she was so admired by a child.

She was a wonderful lady with a kind heart. I am sure she will be sorely missed by the family and her many friends.

She is at peace now with the Master.
