We are very sorry for your loss. Nana, as we called her, has been in our lives since 1986. She not only helped us raise our three children but she was part of our family, neighborhood and community too. She will be remembered and missed by all the children and lives that she touched while she was with us.
Tony, Dawn, JT, Tim and Acadia Keyes

Nell has been one of the best friends our family has had. Her wit, humor and charm added so much to our lives: she will be badly missed. She gave our son Guy a copy of Shel Silverstien's THE GIVING TREE, and it is a fitting way to remember her kindness, consistency and genuine love.
Peace,
Mort, Kelly and Guy Taber

I am so sorry to hear of Nell's passing. She was very dear to me, like a grandmother. I learned a lot of things from Nell, everything from recipes to how to "correctly" put the toilet paper roll on. Nell spoke of her children and grandchildren often. It was very evident how much she loved you all! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during these very difficult days. I will miss Nell very much and will remember her always! Ashley
