Nell and my mom (Jamie Collins) were as close as two could be. My entire family absolutely loved Nell, she was one of the sweetest little ladies I have ever met! I am so sorry for waiting so long to reach out, just know that she will be greatly missed by all those that knew her. Nell and mom and Mona used to go everywhere and always had the funniest stories, no matter how many times you heard them it was more funny to watch how tickled they would get telling them. I am truly sorry for your loss! I loved Nell dearly!
