I am so glad you were part of my life, you were like a mother to me. I will always love you and miss you so much. You were always their for me. I will miss all the fun we had together and most of all I will miss all the private conversations we had together. I remember every day when I lived in Florida we would talk on the phone at 8:00 every morning. Aunt Nellie, when I lost you I lost a piece of my heart too. You will always be in my heart and loved by me. I will never forget you and all the advice you have given me over the years. I will always love you and miss you. Rest in peace and play that big slot machine in heaven for me. Love you.

I have had the pleasure of being part of your life for over 20 years ,let me tell you doll you are the best from playing cards with you to eating all your beautiful food you made me, to all the times you and Uncle staying at our house it was amazing . How about the time we flew you and uncle to our Tennessee house and we all went to Tunica Mississippi to the casino and you and I spend 50 hours straight on a blackjack table . Honey you where the Mother I never had. you had nothing but love and support for Dee and I and  are kids you will truly be missed R.I.P my Dear .

God has another Angel! Met Nellie a few years ago and enjoyed her telling us cute stories of the good old days.  She was a very sweet and caring lady.  God Bless the family left behind.

God has another angel in Heaven.  God bless.

Aunt Nelly we will miss you so very much! I know you are singing with the angels in heaven.  May the angels hold and comfort all of us as our hearts our heavy without you here! The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. We love you dearly!

So sorry for your grievous loss, Tony and Frank. I met your mom once and I still remember her smile.

This is from fathers's day. Nellie always looked so beautiful!  She will be missed so very much.
