Juris, Linda and Jim,
I have just found out about Nettie's passing and I am in shock. Nettie and I worked together for TIMET and spent many hours on the phone (she in Henderson and me out in Morgantown, PA) working on environmental issues. After she left, we still stayed in touch and I loved sending photos of my gardens for her to share with Linda. Nettie had a wonderful sense of humor and could always put a smile on my face even when days were tough. She loved to tell me about Montana and her family, and you could hear the love in her voice. My heartfelt condolences to you all. Karen M Jones

This is so heartbreaking. Nettie worked with me in Canada for several years and she has always been one of my favourite colleagues. So wonderfully intelligent and such a hilarious sense of humour. It took her a while to open up to me but I´m so glad I got to know her. I am so so sorry for your loss.
