I was very sorry to hear of Nellie"s passing. I know she is with Jesus now. I remember visiting with Nellie when her and Allen lived on Ridge Ave. My mother who lives with me,used to visit Nellie when we came to see my Dad when he was in Morehead Nursing Center. She always had a sweet smile for us. My prayer are with the family.
