Sherry, Nellie's daughter, is my sister-in-law, married to my brother, Bill. I never met Nellie, but over the years, Sherry talked about how much she loved and admired her mother. Sherry is a wonderful sister-in-law, and this ties back to her upbringing by Nellie. Losing a mother is very hard, but the good memories do help a lot.
Deepest sympathies to Nellie's remaining family.
Our family did not know Jewel well but we do know her daughter Sherry and Sherry is an incredible woman and our brother Bill's wife. Her mother raised her well. Jewel must have been special because Sherry is special!
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
This was a strong little woman. She handle anything that was put in front of her. My family met them in 1978. We moved in next door To the Littles. It was the beginning of a friendship. My mom and dad became friends with them. I babysat their grandson Christopher for a couple of years. My uncle and one of their daughters feel in love. And rest was a Rollercoaster. But we all handled it especially Lucky and My mom. She cut and permed my for years. Her husband Teri and my dD became the best of friends. Any who. I loved this woman and I know she's at peace now. I'll miss you Lucky. And give Teri and big hug. My prayers are with you and the family.
