Nell - The Guardian Angel of Animals

November 14, 2017

From the very first moment I met Nell, I knew her and I were kindred spirits in our love of animals!!!!!  I still have a beautiful life-sized ceramic cat that Nell gave me at least 25 or 30 years ago!!!!!!   I remember so well how Nell would fill the trunk of her car with dog and cat food, then go riding around the countryside for hours on end checking on so many dogs and cats and making sure they all had plenty of food and water!!!!!!  This made such a wonderful impression on me, and shows just the kind of warm, loving, and caring woman that Nell was . . .  I know all of us will miss Nell forever, but there are also so many animals that are going to miss the love and affection that their Guardian Angel gave them!!!!!!
