Barry, Janice and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You Mom always had a smile and a hug for me every time I saw her. This truly will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Nell Royer was a great lady and a fine example of how to live by staying active and engaged. At 80+ she was one of my email buddies. Her mac and cheese and pies (coconut and chocolate) were fantastic. Nellie was a wonderful person and her presence will be missed.

We will truly miss Nellie. She always had a kind word to say to all. She loved to come to quilting at Brandon and share funny stories and happy memories with the ladies. Her sweet smile will be missed. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family.
