I wish I could be there with everyone for Aunt Nela's service. My prayers to Uncle Chubby and the entire Callicott clan during this time of loss. I always looked forward to hearing "Aunt Nela's coming". I enjoyed her visits immensely and will miss her terribly.
I love you, Aunt Nela.....Thanks for all the late night chats, book reviews, glasses of wine, and always leaving behind a loaf of "Nela bread" for my husband, Milton. The unconditional love I felt every time we embraced will be missed the most. We have lost a true gem and she will be remembered forever.

Our love and deepest sympathy go out to all of you. We will miss Aunt Nela and her trips to Louisiana. All I can say was that she was an amazing lady. Her stories, back rubs and pimento cheese will be missed too. I am sure she is rejoicing up there with smiles on all of you. All our love, Spencer, DeShae, Nicholas, Allison & Jordan

Our love and condolences goes out to Uncle Chubby, Jimmy, David, Rex, Fredrick, their spouses and all her grand-kids.
Some of the best memories of my youth was the summers and holidays when Aunt Nela and Uncle Chubby would bring all the kids down. Rig hill battles, fireworks, coal oil for the busted hands and boxes of Jacks cookies. Those were the days.
She was, and still is loved and we will miss her very much. She looks so much like Mom it is unbelievable. They are all together now with Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw.
