Uncle Gary and Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Nell. I have no doubts that she is in heaven right now. She will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts are with you and your family. I pray that the Lord will watch over each of you and help you through this tragic time. I have fond memories of 'eating strawberries and powdered sugar on Pine Valley Road with my moma and Aunt Nell and her asking were was I putting it all.' Those were the best strawberries that I've ever had. How I wished I could relive that day!
