Dear Nelson Family;
I am so grateful for your mom and grandma. When I first returned to Salina in 1988 she was one of the persons to greet me and welcome me to town. She was deeply loving towards others, concerned and caring, shared her gifts and talents (garden and quilting techniques), bicycling with me and others. I love and respect her so much. I was sorry to hear of her passing but know that her faith and belief in the Plan of Salvation and now being rejoined with family especially Bob is worth it forever. God Bless you all with great memories.

I was so sad when I heard about your mom. I'm sure, however, that my mom was waiting for her so they could go for a coke and a ride. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
