We are deeply saddened by the news of Mrs. Freeland's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. She was such company to my Mom during her stay at West Markham Rehab. The three of us enjoyed nice afternoons on the patio. Mrs Freeland had wonderful stories of her life.

May God give you the comfort and peace that you seek and may the soul of Mrs.Freeland rest in peace.

I knew Nell through the Gardenia Garden Club and the Little Rock Council of Garden Clubs. She was one of the most loyal and dedicated ladies there. She walked the walk and talked the talk! She was a "jewel."

Dear Byron and Betty,

I used one of Aunt Vernell's tips on watering flowers just yesterday. With her kindness she taught me many things that will stay with me all my life.

We will all miss her.

Love to you both and the girls.
