One of my fondest memories is the sound of Aunt Nellie's LAUGHTER. Hearing her laugh brought so many memories flooding through my heart. There is a little memory in my mind about how we had just finished redoing our kitchen walls and ceiling and we were celebrating it when Aunt Nellie and Uncle Sid came over to visit and Dad asked her to pop the cork on a bottle of his home made pink champagne and the cork flew off and the champagne flew up to the ceiling and over the walls. We had Aunt Nellie laughing so hard that to this day I can still hear her. We love and miss you Aunt Nellie Rest in peace and make sure you look for my Mom and Dad up there. (((HUGS))) from your nieces Georgina, Mary and Shirley.
We mourn the loss of Grandama. Our thoughts are with all of you. ️
Love Dan, Tracey, Nicole, Nathan and Mars.
Thinking of you all, Aunt Nellie was such a beautiful person. Even though we lived far, she showed such love and care. I can remember one time when I was a small child, when she came to visit, she asked me to help pick out a doll for her very special niece who was exactly my age. I was secretly a bit jealous, as I was her niece and really wanted the doll I had picked out, but knew to stay polite and not say anything. After we got back to our house, she gave the doll to me and I was shocked. I was over the moon that I was indeed the niece for the doll. I remember we giggled that I was kept in the dark during the shopping trip. Aunt Nellie taught me the joy of giving, surprises and kindness that day and I now love to surprise others in similar ways. She will be missed by all, but will reunite with her love ️
