Frannell,



Louise told me about your mom and I passed the word to my brother-in-law, Craig Mayer. He was saddened to hear that his grandfather's niece had passed away. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.



May the peace of Christ fill your heart.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my Aunt Nell. I will always cherish the last time visiting her with mom and Sarah. She always loved her family and even though we were far away, we knew we were close at heart.

Fran, call any one of us for anything- We LOVE you.

Our deepest sympathy to Fran and other family members. We were saddened to learn of Nellie's passing. While we only met Nellie once, we know Fran well and as Nellie shines through her, we know she was, indeed, a wonderful woman. We're sending a memorial in her name. Blessings to all.

Dear Frannell: We only wished we could have spent more time with your mother after you moved to Orlando. She was always such a lovely lady, a good mother and wife. We found greeting cards in boxes in Alice's garage where she shared her love for her family. We'll always remember happy family reunions and look forward to sharing them more often. Our time together is precious and short in this life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now as we gather to remember and celebrate her life together. Consider coming back to Jacksonville again and live!

In memory of a wonderful aunt, the soul of sincere kindness and hospitality. Like her sisters, Aunt Nell spoke her mind but did it so gently that no one who disagreed could find fault with what she had to say. An extraordinary lady, the baby of the family, always ready to laugh at a good joke, lots of fun to be around and a wonderful wife and mother. We'll miss our Aunt Nell, and we know we're not alone.



With love and deepest sympathy,



Jimmy and Alison

Nellie was more like a big sister than an aunt. We shared many fun filled times back in the early 50's and before. She will be missed.

May she rest in peace now with her beloved husband and the rest of her family. My sincere sympathy to Fran.

Love

Louise
