I am so sorry for the loss of Nell. I wish I would’ve known cause I would have wanted to be at the funeral. I loved her so much and she was so good to the girls and my grandkids. I feel horrible that I wasn’t there to say goodbye to her. My heart breaks. The whole family are in my hearts and prayers.
