Aunt Nellie and Uncle JM have always been a big part of my life, we are so close in age that many life experiences were shared.
Aunt Nellie always was loyal to me and encourgaged me with her " You do what you have to do". That simple sentence got us both through many difficult times.
Today my heart hurts for her loss, but I comfort myselt with her words that she always yelled out to me when she came to see me "Honey, I'm Home!". She is with her beloved son Scott and has joined the angels. Perhaps an outspoken angel, because she always told it like it was!
My love to everyone and prayers for peace and comfort. We will keep her close in our hearts.

Aunt Nellie was fiesty and funny, kind and generous, full of love and support, pure and welcoming. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Aunt Nellie - but the time I did spend stuck with me: she was a shinning example of a strong and wise woman. Between the lessons I directly learned from Nellie to those she taught my mom and then mom passed to me, I know that many of my strengths originated from her. What a great woman! Her many, many positive influences will live on. Thank you Aunt Nellie!!

I will be forever thankful that I could spend time with Nellie last fall.Nellie was the sister that when we were young, we fought like cats and dogs, but when we each got married we wrote each other twice a week, I treasure those times. I loved her dearly and she will always be in my heart. My love and sympathy goes to each one in her precious family. I am looking forward to eternity where there will be no more sickness or death. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

Tom , Debbie, and family, so very sorry for your loss. Nellie was a very good person, and a fun one to know. Her laugh was contagious and always a thought in her head and out her mouth.
