    Lieve familie,

    Heel veel sterkte gewenst voor deze moeilijke tijd. Wij herinneren tante Nel als een dappere, sterke, opgewekte, lieve moeder die in Canada een fijn gezin runde. Een moeder die de familieband erg belangrijk vond. Velen uit Limburg zijn bij jullie geweest en altijd zeer gastvrij ontvangen door haar. En dat zijn mooie herinneringen aan haar die nog lang in onze gedachte blijven.

    Veel liefs van Ank, Jack en de kinderen .

    Nell has been such an amazing friend. Her phone calls to keep us updated on everyone will be truly missed. Our deepest sympathies to the family, Andy, Joe, and John and Sue and the grandchildren. She always spoke with so much happiness about her family. She is where she has waited to be, back with your dad. Thinking of you all.

    Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. I absolutely adored Nellie and I couldn’t wait for her to come I to my salon when I did her hair in Lucan. She was such a breath of fresh air. May she Rest In Peace.

    To Nellie’s Family,
    I sat beside her at Seasons and she was brought to the table for supper on Wed. in a wheel chair. She gave me her key to get her mail and I can’t believe that she passed away so soon after that. I knew she was not feeling completely well but never thought her poor health was so serious.
    Sincere Sympathy to all Catharine Harrison.
