God rest her soul.

Nell was a large woman. Perhaps 100 pounds over her ideal weight. I would wager that the cause was heart failure.

Never watched her show, but had seen enough of her on other shows to get the impression that she was a very nice, thoughtful........and very talented..........lady. May the Good Lord welcome her Home, and may He bring His peace to her family. In Jesus' name................
To: RoughDobermann
I think she was diabetic
