Nelma was always a special lady …never had a cross word for anyone..a Great Mom to all..RIP my friend.
My sweet cousin, so many memories we shared. Remembering us as younger little girls. You always laughing and smiling till we had tears rolling down our faces. The day you got married and I helped set up your reception at the house. I hope Uncle Nelson was waiting to walk you through the gates of heaven. We will forever miss you here on earth but those gone before us were missing you to. I’m sure it was a wonderful reunion in heaven. Until we meet again, KEEP SMILING
