Was so sorry to hear yrs later of Nelda's death. Was a shock even than. Beautiful person, soul, body and spirit. God bless the whole family. Maria A Silva

Condolences to the family.  I did not know Nelda.  But she resided in the nursing home where my very young brother also resides.  Before COVID I was at the nursing home every weekend.  I got to meet Nelda and talked to her on several occasions.  I looked in to her eyes and knew that she had a whole life of love but she could not speak to me.  I met her beautiful and devoted mother and was able to listen to her story and hug her on a couple of occasions as she cried for her daughter.  I prayed for Nelda and her sweet momma in my daily prayers.  I was happy to see all the beautiful pictures and memories that the family posted.  

May this beautiful soul rest in peace and may her family be comforted to know that she is no doubt with our Heavenly Father and suffers no longer.

Sincerely,
Sandra Vargas

My thoughts are with Tia Lydia and my cousins Ester and Gloria this morning as our sweet Nelda is laid to rest. I feel so sorry that these terrible times prevent us from being there for you. To hug you and cry with you. You are a wonderful family, loved by all. We all pray for you.  I so look forward to the day when we will embrace you and the whole family to show our love and support and share our cherished memories of Nelda. 

Nelda and I met during middle school and soon after became best of friends.  She was kind, loving, intelligent and passionate about her work in education.  She was a great listener and always had great advice if you asked for it.  You could never go wrong with her advice!  We had many adventures together in the 35+ years as besties.  From going on long road trips to go see NASCAR races (yes, really!) to going on vacations with family and friends (NYC was amazing!).  It didn't matter what we did...it was always an adventure when you put us together!  

My heart hurts for the loss of my best bud, but I have so many wonderful memories of Nel that bring me smiles. I also know that she is in God's hands and is now at peace.  

Mrs. Silva, Ester, Gloria and to all of Nelda's family...you are all in my thoughts and in my prayers.  Hold on to those precious memories of Nel.  I promise she will bring you many smiles everytime you think of her!  Love you, Debbie

My sweet, dear Nelda who was always a wonderful friend to me while at Lozano and  Rose Shaw.  I have so many wonderful memories of our times together, you were always such a great inspiration and I always loved your talks of motivation.  I still to this day hear you giving me the motivation needed to continue teaching.  I will always have you in my heart, may Our Lord and Savior greet you with open arms.  RIP my sweet friend!!
