In Loving Memory

Thank you for the phone call. I am very sorry for your loss. When my mom died, I cried my eyes our and it took a long time to get over it. I hope your trip to the North Sea will help with your grieving process.

Nel was one of my roommates on Bay Street in San Francisco in the 1960s. We were a bunch of girls in our mid to late 20's sharing a large flat. Nel was loved by all of us. She was a dear friend and I will miss her. Nancy and Mike -- I am so sorry about the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful woman and hope your fond memories of her will keep her close to you. Love to you both, Pat

Nancy and Mikey, We felt a wound in our hearts when we heard of the passing of your precious Mom. Our years on Barber place were a real blessing in life giving friendships. She was always on our minds especially when we enjoyed our morning coffee kept warm in the beautiful pottery cups from Ruidoso she gifted us. We pray the Lord has embraced her in his loving arms. Were so happy to hear of her adventures after she left NM. She deserved it How blessed were we to have shared life with her and both of you. The Gallegos'

My heartfelt sympathy Nancy. I hope I am half the adventurous person your mom was! Afterglow - Anonymous I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Nel was a dear friend and brightened my life so much in the 17 years I knew her. I remember her smile, her bright twinkly eyes, the way we could talk about any subject for hours. I miss her so much. Love to Nancy, Mike, Kylie and all her many many friends.
