Aunt Nellie , I will miss you so much! We both looked forward to seeing each other every weekend. …The lunches, the laughs and the memories will always and forever be cherished. I love you Tia !
My best friend / mom/ Aunt ❤️
Nellie was a good friend to us. We had a lot of fun with her and Ralph over the years. We remember especially the cubs/cardinal game all of us went to in St. Louis.
You were always welcome into her home for coffee and a treat she probably baked. She always loaded our grandkids up with candy if they were with us! We have missed Ralph all these years since his passing, now we also will miss our friend Nellie!
Mom, I never was able to really get to talk with you at the end, but, I know you were there and you knew I was there as you passed on to be with dad. There are so many who loved you and took care of you as their own mom. Marsha Pikula, Dennis Taylor, and many others. I love and miss you so much mom. One day we’ll meet up again with you and dad and then our family will start to come together. Love you and miss you so much. Love Rick
