Nellie was a good friend of my mother's (and myself too). They had worked together for many years at Linda Jo Shoe Factory in Gainesville, Texas. She was one of the 98 people who attended my mother's 90th birthday celebration in August 2010, and I will forever remember her smiling, caring, and loving face. She lived a life to honor God and will be deeply missed by many . She always took time to say hello and share a hug.
May God Bless you and hold you close to Him. My Love and prayers, Phyllis Hurst Hutson Moore
