Dear Thomas Family,
We are so sorry for your loss of Aunt Nell, our prayers are with you for comfort and peace.
Aunt Nellie was a wonderful woman, we have fond memories of her and Uncle Vernon. She always opened her home and heart to us, Rick is so grateful he went to visit her last month. We are lucky to have her “live on” through all of you, you’re a great family.
For the rest of my life, when things get tough, I will always hear Aunt Nell say, ” The LORD is your strength’.
We now have another “awesome angel” from above looking over us.
We Love You Guys……..Rick, Julie & Stephanie

Dear Michael, Mary, Gary, Cecilia, Veronica and families:
We are so very sad to hear about the loss of your dear mother and grandmother, and our dear Aunt Nellie. We’re sure all would agree ~ Aunt Nellie was one of the sweetest people in our lives. She treated each of us as her own. We will never forget her overflowing generosity as she welcomed all of us (with open arms) into her home. A home which became the center of love for many relative and family gatherings. May treasured memories of joyous times bring peace and comfort to your hearts. Love, your cousins, Michael and Rebecca Wilson

Dear Thomas Family,
We are thinking of you and sending you thoughts of peace during your time of sorrow. In our fond memory, Aunt Nell was a very giving, unique and precious person – she brought inspiration and light into the lives of those she met. Aunt Nell went through life’s hills and valleys with her fair share of heartache but she remained positive and gracious. The last time we saw her at our mother’s 80th birthday party, she told us to ‘lighten up’. We have learned from her that no matter how bad things appear in our life, there is always something good we can thank God for. Aunt Nell will live on in our hearts as we ‘lighten up’ especially for her.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Art and Joan Schwieder
