So sorry for your loss, our prayers are with you tonight and tomorrow. I remember going to your mom and dads house as a young child, I had not seen her in years, a couple years ago my sister Vergie Mitchell and I stopped to see her at the nursing home, it was good to see her again. What a reunion in heaven. Nellie was my dads cousin, (Walter)
Dee McNealy ( Sidney ), May the Grace of God be with you and your family. Your MOM is now your GUARDIAN ANGEL.
Nellie was such a wonderful lady, my sister was there for 5 years and Miss Nellie was always so sweet to her. I always stopped in to see her and she always asked about Opal. May she rest in peace in her heavenly home.
Lifting you all up in my prayers during this difficult time…and in the days to come.
Rod & Donna
