Nell was a joy to be around, a great Christian example, and always brought happiness wherever she went. I am confident that she is now enjoying her eternal reward in Heaven that she strived for all her life. I’m so thankful that we have the promise of reuniting with her again where there will be no sickness or dying ever again.
Please know Darrell that you will most certainly be in our prayers, and your family. God is faithful and will uphold us when we need it the most, and bring peace that not only passes understanding, but at times doesn’t make sense. I love you Brother.

I have met Mrs. Nell a couple of times and could always tell she was a great helpmeet to her husband’s ministry. May God comfort Bro. Darrell and the remainder of the family in the days to come. This is not goodbye, but rather see you later. Heaven has just gotten much, much sweeter.

So sorry to hear of her passing.
We are the same age. She went too soon.
May she rest in peace.
Know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
