I remember your Mom looking just like that when my Mom delivered the mail out on R.R.#3 Paisley. We later had the opportunity to be your neighbors in Paisley. She was such a lovely lady & a hard worker. We send our sincere condolences to you all & hope the wonderful memories you have will help you through this time of sorrow.

On behalf of the Norman and Elma Dryden family, I express our deepest sympathy to the Nelson family. My mother and Elva were church friends, and Mom had the highest regard for her as a hard working lady who loved and supported her children. May you, too, have pleasant memories of your mother.
