She was my Nell, as I'm sure many of those who loved her felt. She always brightened my day. I feel so blessed that I was able to spend time with her recently when she traveled to Gulf Shores with daughter Sherry and Peach.

Ruby Nell was an absolute treasure to all who were lucky enough to meet her. Her daughter, Sheri is equally as brilliant and lovely as her mum. Ms. Ruby is already loved by so many, she will be deeply missed. To Sheri (aka Fifi) and the entire family, my love, thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Dr. Nicholson raised an exceptional daughter in Sharon, thus her legacy of good works lives on through her. She helped a lot of people, and that's a remarkable accomplishment.
My Sincere condolences,
