Not sure what to say?

I looked on the calendar yesterday and realized it has almost been a year since Nellie passed away. She has been missed but her memory is still fresh in my mind. Let us say a prayer for all her loved ones at this time of the one year anniversary .Also ahope for health and wellness for all her remaining family members.

Dear Larry, Please accept my condolances. I loved Nellie. She was always so very pleasant, gratious and sincere. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Love, Cindy Darby

Mrs. Channell was my favorite elementary teacher, I had her in 1st & 3rd Grade. She taught myself and several siblings, we all have such fond memories of her. I remember her and Mr. Channell came to my wedding back in 1986. I was so touched by that, that was just the type of person she was. I loved her gentle ways of teaching and her smile. I can remember speed reading in her class, and I know to this day, that is why I can read faster than anyone I know!:-) I also remember how she taught...

Nellie was my 4th grade teacher in Newton Kansas and I shall never forget her. If she had not made me do my homework and stick to studying, I would have not become a teacher, a college student or made it very far in life. She was a friend to me all through college while she was at Blessed Sacrament and I was at Sacred Heart College, now Newman U. She and Larry have been an inspiration to me and I shall miss her terribly. She found a gem in Larry and he in her and I thank God that they...

My sincere condolences during this time. Mrs. Channell was one of my most memorable grade school teachers at William Allen White. She was truly an angel whom taught her wisdom to many. She will be dearly missed.

In those moments of sorrow,look to God.

To the Channell family,
Mrs Channel was my 1st grade teacher at William Allen White. I graduated high school in 1986, so it was a long time ago. I STILL remember sitting at the front of the room, facing the screen w/a project flashing phrases- learning to "speed read"- oh how we hated it but she persisted and today- I am so grateful to her! I also remember her beautiful smile she always seemed to have on her face! She was one of my favorite teachers ever! Thoughts of her bring back lots of...

We're so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Channel was my son's kindergarten teacher at Vance Elementary. She was a wonderful, gentle teacher who made each student feel special and we felt lucky he had her for his first teacher. Devin is 22 now and an EMT. When I told him of her passing he realized that it was "the" Mrs. Channel he had helped move to Hospice House last week. We were very touched and know she would be, too, that one of her students had taken a small part in caring for her during her...

Larry, Katie, Joyce, and Vi, I am very sorry for your loss. I know you will all miss Nellie more than words can say. I will also miss her. She was a one of my favorite cousins. I loved to talk to her and listen to her soft voice. I am glad she is no longer in pain and I know she is in heaven. I would have liked to been able to tell her that I was thinking of her and that I loved her. Maybe she will be able to read this, you never know.
