Nellie, God bless you, my dear. He/She certainly blessed me the day we met. A brave and courageous girl you are. PEACE.

Nellie was a blessing. She came to our Bible study for 27 yrs.
I am sure she is with Jesus CHRIST, who died for you and me.
"God created the heavens and the earth!" Genesis chapters one, two, and three, the most historically accurate accounts ever penned in our Solar System, the MilkyWAY.
She emailed me a few times. She would click AMEN on her board when God prompted her that our BIBLE study and prayer time should end. Wednesday nights were always a blessing with NELLIE at Ken and SHERRY OLSEN's house. Sherry and Nellie were great friends. Steve Taylor, our Bible teacher, and his wife, TERRI, knew Nelli very well also.
