Dear Nelson Family, My deepest sympathy for all of you. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom/grandmother was such a wonderful and talented lady. We are all so lucky to have had her in our lives, she touched us one way or another. Please know I am thinking of you all and my prayers are with you. Love you, Debbie (Mally) Donnelly
