My sincere condolences to the Nelson family. I did not know Bobbie Nelson personally but I was a fan of hers and her Brother and you were one of the best, playing my favorite musical instrument of all time, the piano as my grandfather was blind his whole life and tuned piano's for a living and always played a little tune when he was done tuning a piano and when he came to visit! God Bless you Bobbie Nelson and your wonderful family and friends! I am sure I will meet you one day in heaven! BH

My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and devoted fans of Ms. Bobbie Nelson. Ms. Bobbie Nelson was a pianist who played with her younger brother, Mr. Willie Nelson, for more than 50 years. She was greatly admired by her fellow artists and all those who knew her. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by her. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Ms. Bobbie Nelson. May her music and legacy keep her memory alive forever.

I am sending my deepest condolences to Willie, especially, because I know just how close Bobbie and Willie were their entire lives. It's so special, because very few people ever get to experience a soul-mate relationship at all, let alone one for a lifetime. But that also then makes the loss of it SO MUCH HARDER to cope with! Hang in there, Willie. So many of us love you dearly!!! Lynne Henry
