My High School friend is now at rest with her husband Doyle who was also a High School friend and with her son Rodger. Many are the meories that flow through these years of Nelda and the brief conversations with her daughter by email. May the love of this dear lady rest upon her remaining family and particularly the grandchildren who will find it difficult to accept the passing of a wonderful grandmother.
