Though we never met in life, your legacy and love have touched my heart. Your beauty and grace were evident in the flowers you sold, and the impact you had on those around you is a testament to your kindness and strength. May your memory continue to bloom in our hearts, just like the flowers you so lovingly shared with the world. Sephjoe7

Mrs. Nelson was one of the nicest human beings that I've ever met. I never saw a frown on her face, always a smile. And she was very encouraging to you too. She would say, girl you getting gooder and gooder! That was our little special joke between us. A beautiful, beautiful soul that will be missed. My very deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Rosetta Nelson.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO ANTOINETTE, AND THE NELSON-JUPITER FAMILIES. MAY YOU FIND PEACE, STRENGTH, AND COMFORT IN YOUR FAITH AT THIS TIME OF SARROW.
