Nell was loved by all who knew her and especially her cousin Edgar. After their spouses died they enjoyed traveling together and visiting. I have many fond memories of Nell visiting us and visiting in her home and when Alvis was alive their home. She will be missed but is now with all those she loved and left this earth before her.

I’m so sorry to learn of her passing. My deepest sympathy goes to the family. Revelation 21:3-5 gives us a beautiful future to look forward to when Jehovah God does away with pain, mourning and death forever. I hope this brings some comfort for the family during this sad time.

Nell was a good friend and I always enjoyed her company and talking to her on the phone. She was a very good cook and a gracious hostess and opened her home to me and to John when we came to Lubbock to visit. I especially enjoyed our visit when I came to work on the bridesmaids dresses for JD and Audrey's wedding in 2008. She was a sweet lady and she won't be forgotten. I'll share stories about her with her great-grandchildren: Ainlsey, AJ, and Strader and I'm so glad they got to visit her at Thanksgiving!
