My heart is broken upon hearing this sad news. There are no words to describe what Nellie has meant to so many for so long. I can’t remember a day in my life without her having been close to my heart. I know she is reaping her reward up above for her well lived life here on earth. I take comfort in knowing I will be seeing her one day soon. Love you Nellie. God Speed and Prayers out to you , Saunders, Angelique, Quentin, Keenan, and Petee.. Bobby
