We loved this lady! She made the BEST homemade tortillas and breakfast tacos EVER! We will miss her and continue to wave and say "Hi" to her every time we go past her house on I-10!!! What a sweet compassionate soul! We loved our visits, the time we spent the night and watching the Hallmark Channel! We heard many stories and had many laughs together! Much love and many prayers to Maggie and her family for the loss of their most loved matriarch!

Nellie was a sweet, sweet lady, one of my Momma's BFFs on North 8th Street. They're probably having a cup of coffee today, and Momma is filling her in on who she's run across up there in Heaven.
