Dear Nancy and Marcia,

So sorry to hear of your loss. I know that you will miss your mom terribly.

I will always remember her dancing up a storm! She had so much energy and such a wonderful love of life!

I get comfort knowing that she is now with my mom. Different as they were, there was a special bond between Nellie and her "baby sister".

Love Judie
