She was always a good friend and I will truly miss her
Bill and family, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of Nell. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Nell gave me my first job while studying for accounting in college. To this day, much of what I learned I give thanks to her as I have been in practice since 2010 when I worked for her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Nell was such a blessing to me as to many others, with the sweetest of souls.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and peace in God’s promise to swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. -Isaiah 25:8 Condolences
