Mrs. Nelson was always trying new things! I remember she was the first to get my family to try "7up" in a plastic can! She always had some type of Avon or Tupperware or something to share. I remember hanging out at her house with Melodie. She never complained about the noise we made at sleepovers. I know she had a rough few years and I find comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain. She'll be missed.

She was a lovely cheerful lady.

I have never known a greater love

than that what Bill had for her.

She was a wonderful Mom and Grandmother, and I will miss her dearly with all my heart.

I feel very sad with out her in my life right now but only time will heal a broken heart, if ever.

I know she is in a better place right now and out of pain, but it still hurts deep inside.

The pass few years have been really hard on her and she was holding on for us.

She wanted to come home and it was time for her to just let go and rest her soul.

I have never felt so much pain and sadness inside as I do now.

She will forever be in my heart!
