I'm so sorry to hear about Nell. She and Gene were always good to check on Daisy and L.M. and the rest of her brothers. She was always soft spoken, caring and kind. I'll be praying for you in the coming days as you adjust to life without your Mom.

Mrs. O'Kelley was a very sweet lady, that my family has had the pleasure to live close to for years. I remember seeing her out early in the mornings getting her paper with her little dog right by her side. She will be greatly missed in our community.

Remembering many wonderful memories with Nell who was first my Guardian Angel and then my Adopted Mom. What a witness for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She lived a long, meaningful life and will be missed so much. Philippians 1:3-11. I thank my God for every remembrance of you.

Nell was one of the ladies I looked up to at Greenville First. She and your dad were part of the backbone of the church and you, Pam, and your brother, David were a part of my life growing up in the church. You have my condolences.

Nell was the first neighbor in Westcliffe to welcome us to the neighborhood and introduce me to the Garden Club. Her seemingly constant smile, deeply caring nature and warm hugs will be greatly missed.

To my dear friend Pam, I know this is a very rough time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Just hold on to the promise that we will be with our loved ones again and glory and I know for a fact you gave your mother her flowers while she was here and I cherish the sweet memories of taking her mother's Day, flowers, birthday, flowers, a Christmas poinsettia every year in memory of your precious Dad. I love you! ❤️
