Pam, I have received a message to call you & in searching for your contact info, have found that your dear Mom's gone on to Heaven. I'm sorry for your loss; I know you miss her. She obviously was a wonderful person because you were always a very nice, quiet friend, as I've known since 4th grade. I do hope to get back home soon with all travels behind me soon & I hope to be back in touch with you.

Oh how we miss you Aunt Nelda! You were everything Pam described and more. And I know I was your favorite! As an only child, my Aunts and Uncles were some of my biggest fans from day one. Love you lots and miss you!
Mom, thank you so much for being the Mom and Granny that you were. We are so blessed and so very lucky to have had you as our Mom. You were the most selfless person in the world, always giving of your time, your heart, your guidance, and your love. You made the world a better place to live. You were loved by everyone that ever knew you. People naturally felt better when they were around you. You were never judgemental and always positive about others. You were the best listener to anyone that needed your ear to vent or to talk out loud to figure things out in their lives. You never had a bad thing to say about others and we’re not a gossiper, which is why people found you so easy to talk to. They trusted you. You had the best work ethic and we all seem to have inherited that quality…all the way down to the Grandkids! We would not be who we are if we didn’t have you and Dad leading the way. We had the best example of generosity, unconditional love, hard work, kind words, loving relationship, pride in our family, best cook, ( so far this hasn’t rubbed off the way you would have wished..haha) , animal lover, best hostess to anyone coming into your home, bravery and courage..especially during your recent battle you fought, etc. Many, many more amazing qualities that are too numerous to mention. You had the unique ability to make all of us feel as if we were your absolute favorite, not only in regards to kids, grandkids, etc. But with your friends, co-workers, nieces and nephews, cousins, siblings, etc. We all felt like your favorite because you treated each of us in such a special way. I’ve never known anyone else with that quality but I’m so blessed to actually have been your favorite.??haha. Mom, you taught us all how to be strong and how to go on and continue to make each day special . We will all be ok, although heartbroken that we had to say “see ya later”sooner than we ever imagined. It’s been said you lived 150 years in your 75 years and this is so true! You are the perfect example of a “life well lived!” We will all try to carry on with your strength and courage. We want to make you proud of us. You made sure to tell all of us that you were proud of us and that you were proud to be our Mom. Not many parents take the time to actually verbalize this but you definitely didn’t leave these amazing words unsaid. All of us know how proud you were of us and how much you loved us. Your family was your life . We will try to carry on that family pride and make sure we use your life as our example to live by. We will make sure your Hon is ok ! You two have the world’s most perfect love story and how amazing that all of your children and Grandchildren got to witness it first hand. I am so glad that you are not in pain anymore. Glad your appointments and treatments are over. You did not deserve to get sick but I think you were chosen because you did it with such grace, such bravery, such courage. You kept positive throughout your journey..always ready with the ” thumbs up” after each challenge. I never, ever heard you complain once . You never once said “why me?” You accepted the hand you were dealt and faced it with a positive attitude and courage. Oh, I’m sure you were scared at times, but you stayed brave for us. Such a Mom all the way to the end! Putting everyone else before yourself. I know it was also an act of bravery to know that you were tired and through fighting. Even then , you made sure all of your ducks we’re in a row before going and we all were able to be with you until the end. You did it your way , in your own time, and I’m so glad you are at peace and you are no longer sick. Heaven certainly gained the most beautiful angel on February 16th, 2019.i know when the pearly gates need a touch-up, you will be the only one that will be able to match that shade perfectly! Hug all those that were waiting for you. We will see you again, Mom. Until then , we will all be living life the “Granny way!” You gave us amazing gifts while we had you with us. We hope to continue to make you proud. We will miss you like crazy, M
Nelda has been a wonderful sister to me for the 57 years she was married to my brother. I feel honored to have known her
You leave this world and go to a better one. We will miss you so very much. We are all richer because you have been in our lives. I will cherish all of the wonderful memories that are in my heart. You, Sis and I had some wonderful times going to Branson. We have laughed so many times talking about your Aunt Chris! She wasn’t wrong very often but Boy when she was, she was major wrong. JB has always been a keeper.
I send my love to JB, Rie, Pam, and Scott. Our Nelda gave us all so much, she was a caring and loving person.
Give Mom Brown and your Uncle Bud a hug from me. We will meet again. Till that time, know you will always be with me. Love ya Couz!
