Not sure what to say?

To Jill and Jan,
I wanted to THANK YOU GIRLS for taking care of Nell and Wesley. The many long hours on the road, late hours when things were not going good and you knew you had to be with them in their hours of need.

Children are a BLESSING and ya’ll have
been there when the going got ROUGH so many times. I LOVE YOU GIRLS.
Thank ya’ll for being there anytime you were needed.

Nell was a fun loving person. A happy outlook with everything she did.

Holidays were so much fun for her. She loved children and she was always playing with my Grandson, Henry in the floor. Games like
Hide and Seek or things that she knew would make him laugh.

Nell was a good cook. We loved her
Casseroles.

Nell loved her Church and Church Family.

She also loved Working and enjoyed her
Work family.

A very happy...

I Always loved Nell and Wesley! They were always sweet to me! Every time I saw them at Hollywood Baptist Church they would give me a big hug and tell me that they loved me! I Love You Nell! Now you and Wesley can Rest In Peace together!

To Mrs. Nell Dempsey Willis's family, I was one of those kids she influence @ Hollywood Baptist Church. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. She always set such a wonderful example to all the children she taught. As I write this to her family you already knew what a shinning light she was. May God bless you all and keep you until we all are called home. Lori Wall Harris
