I am so sorry to learn this evening of Nelda's passing. My heart goes out to all of you. It's so hard to imagine that so many of the Harrison cousins have passed away within the last year - Aves, my mother Ruth Harrison Bales (uncle Roy's daughter), and now Nelda Fay. Your family is in my my thoughts and prayers, as well as in those of my sister Linda Bales Perry.
