I didn't have the opportunity to know you very long, just a few short years but you welcomed me into your family on the very first day. The thing I remember about you was the enormous energy you had and the endearing smile that you gave to others. You always made others feel good with your laughter and your energy. No matter how bad someone may be feeling, when they would leave you presents, they would be feeling a whole lot better. Thank you for that. You surely will be missed.

Love
Daniel

I was the little girl next door that played football in the yard with the Schexnayder boys. I am very thankful for growing up next door to a special lady that always had a smile on her face. I am very blessed to have had an opportunity to visit and pray with Mrs. Nell before her passing. I would just like to offer my deepest condolences to Mr. Bernard, Ernie, Percy, Brian & Ryan and your families for your loss. Mrs. Nell will be very much missed, but I am blessed to have known her. Love, Sandy
