I am so sorry to hear of this beautiful woman's passing. She was always so much fun to visit with and kept us all "young" with her antics. When mom and I went to visit one summer, Aunt Nell took us to the BX. After climbing on top a number of pillows in the driver's seat, she proceeded to take us to the base, park in the furthest spot from the door (there were a number of open spaces much closer), and walk us through the entire BX before we left. On the way out, I was walking slightly in front of Aunt Nell and had slowed my pace down thinking that she probably didn't walk as fast as I did, only to be told, "Would you pick up your feet and let's go! You're too slow!" My mom and I both had a good laugh at how agile she was. Aunt Nell told us the walk to and from the car would do us good and keep us young. Even now when I pull into the BX parking lot at the base close to home, I think of Aunt Nell and how she would probably park much further away from the front door than I do!
She was a dear, sweet lady that the Lord has welcomed into His kingdom stating, "Well done, my good and faithful servant -- well done."
