So sorry to hear of Nell’s passing, albeit a few years late. Nell was a good friend and golfing buddy of my mother Jane Fish. I have good memories with Nell too. She once took me to downtown LA as a kid to see & experience the different cultural neighborhoods. She first showed me how to use chop sticks!
My mom passed away in 2014 so I can imagine them reunited once again 🙂
