Thank you Aunt Nelda for your loving ways to me and my family
Thank you for including me in your book of poetry. I loved so much singing with you and Mom. We have many fond memories of you and love you so much. May your journey beyond the veil be a continuation of your music...singing with the angels. Love forever, Lynda Mandella Trawick

She wrote the song that got the Beatles together. Literally the only person who can lay stake to that claim. Rest in peace legendary song writer..

My heart goes out to Jill and family. Sunny was an incredible entertainer and a very kind soul. I have added Twenty Flight Rock to my song list for the rest of my days so when I entertain I will think of you..peace&love2015

I love you my great aunt Nelda. So many memories of you and Grammy singing all of those songs, your guitar, Island Park and camping. You will be missed.

My sun, my moon
My joy, my heartache
The choir of the angels has been lifted.
