A friend in Norfolk told me about your Mother's death. Nell was my Mother's dearest friend and I always enjoyed Nell's company when I was down visiting Mother. My Mother was Roy Blake and she's been dead about 10 years now. I kept in touch with Nell for years but hadn't heard from her in the past few and wasn't sure where she was. Nell and Mother's friendship was a beautiful thing. Your Mother was kind and full of life. Please accept my sympathy. Claiborne Winborne
