We are shocked and saddened to hear of Nell’s death. We will plan to offer personal condolences on Friday.
Sincerely,
Sallie and Jim Naves (Bill Van’s daughter and family)
We are so saddened to hear of Nell’s death. We are traveling in Alaska and will not be able to attend her services. Since moving near us (and also in our Sunday School Class), Nell has come to mean a lot to us. She will be sorely missed. We keep your family in our prayers.
