Dear Heidi, Christine and Sally.
Nellie was an angel to all of us her knew her, always remembering others with cards and special Candles. Nellie and I shared many birthday lunches together as well as yoga retreats with our dear friend, Katherine! How lucky for you to have her as your Mom and Sister. Now we have an "angel" to watch over us! Peace and Love.

Dear Christine and family:

So sorry to hear of your Moms death. I remember her well when she used to stop in at Wilsons to visit. She had a gentle spirit and a kind heart. May you find comfort in memories now and in the days ahead.
Fondly, Phil

My deepest sympathy to Nellie's family. In my search for Nellie for a 50th class reunion being planned for the fall, I came across this information. I am so sorry for your loss. We will miss reconnecting with our classmate Nellie.

Nellie was the sweetest person, who fought a long battle! The last time I saw her was a month or so ago at Yankee Candle, and she always had a smile on her face! She was a staple at Yankee, and when I go back to work there, it is not going to be the same without her, but her spirit will always be there! She will be greatly missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time! We will miss you Nellie!!
