Mrs Nellie I will never forget sitting behind the pad printing machines on second shift at Moen and me getting you to sing Amazing Grace (your voice was a blessing from above and You used it to serve our heavenly father). That smile of yours to light up a room and a way of making people feel happy.Me and you would talk for hours about Gods love. I remember Becky Elks telling me that she wanted you to sing at her funeral but she really didn't know you like that. She knew that we where good friends and asked me if I thought you would mind and I when I told her you said yes she started crying because she loved your voice. s for those crossword puzzles,no one could out do you. Rest in peace my special friend.
