Well we all made it through another tearful Christmas. Things I don't think will ever be the same for my mother without Nell. And I look around her house as I put reg stuff away to put my moms Christmas out and all th pictures she has laying around that I now Nell took an knowing those r th last pics she will take at moms hurts :( I do love that Marie an christy call an that gives mom a little piece of Nell :) they came and visited with mom durin Xmas an brought goodies (which I got a few pieces) :) and of course mom calls me after they leave and is crying but it's good tears. I think just sometimes when u miss someone that much u need to cry and let it out so u can try to go on with your life cause Nell would not hav wanted anyone sad or upset. She wanted everyone happy and laughing. We love u Nell. Always hav since I was a little girl and always will. :)

My whole family misses Nell :( my mother lost someone that was like a sister to her an she hurts an cries all th time :( we all miss her laugh an her "attitude"lol  She was th first one to make my son Blake laugh when he was a baby. She would come to my moms an sit with us an watch th animals an she always had her camera with her to take pics of Blake I will never forget u love u miss u

Still missing you,the visits, the sound of your laughter and just knowing you were only a phone call away. I wake up each morning thinking of you and go to bed at night, thinking of you. When I sleep, you are in my dreams, I wake up hoping it was all a dream, then it hits me hard, that you really are gone. As time goes by, my heart still has a piece missing. And it will never be the same.

Christmas is gone and the new year is starting. The second anniversary of your death is January 30 and your birthday February 2, which makes the new year hard to face. Joey and his girlfriend got engaged and all I could think of was how happy you would be, probably shedding a few tears. That was one part of your personality, you were so tender hearted. So many lives were touched by you...

When my sister died, she took a piece of my heart with her. I will never be the same person I was before. I have watched our mother fall to pieces and that is the hardest part of all. If I could trade places with her, I would, in a heartbeat. Love my sister. Gone but NEVER forgotten.I love you, Nell. Your "little" sister, Christy
