    I was so sorry of hear of the passing of Nell. She and my mother, Bonnie Petrisko were good friends.
    Nell was a gracious person, kind and considerate. She always welcomed me when I came to visit from Ohio.
    My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during your time of sorrow. Nell will be missed by many, now she can be with Daylon and hopefully continue her friendship with my mother.

    Sincerely
    Linda Petrisko Gorman
