To Nella's Family:
You do not know me, but many years ago Nella (and possibly Inez, too) used to do my grandmother's hair. My grandma was Bernice Cohron, and she frequently spoke of Nella and your whole family with high regard; I was just a small child, but I do remember this. Grandma didn't allow herself many luxuries, but getting her hair done was something she enjoyed, and she enjoyed visiting with Nella even more. Grandma died in 1984, and the years have marched on, but I always remember and am grateful for Nella's kindness to her.
Sincerely,
Ellen Pilmer Lappin
