    We’re going to miss Nell so much. Listening to her stories of growing up in Omaha, Christmas parties, family dinners, and sharing Long John’s. We’re glad to have had her for so long. Rest in Peace. We love you.

    Nell has been our neighbor for the past 18 years. She was one of the sweetest, kindest people we have known. She was like a mother to us and our family. There were never a family gathering that we weren’t invited to attend. Her faith and kindness were an inspiration to both of us. Her amazing cooking and baking skills were second to none. O er the years we have come to know her children and grandchildren. What a blessing she was to have her as a friend and neighbor. Nell will be deeply missed.

    Aunt Nellie, my beloved Godmother, was always a beacon of love and safety in this world. Every moment I spoke to her, I felt listened to, her presence lit up the lives of those around her. Though she is gone, more than anything, her memory will always be cherished. I love you Aunt Nelly, I and the girls will miss you forever.
