I've known Nelda since attending Havre High School. Nelda befriended me and Cathy, as it was quite an adjustment coming from a one room school and farm life to school in Havre. We attended the same Lutheran church too. Nelda was influential in so many areas of my life; she helped me get into nurse's training in Great Falls. We were room mates for a time and I remember watching her write many letters to Frank, and besides studying she was already avidly knitting. She later encouraged me to attend MSU, where I got my BS in Nursing while she and Frank were living there. I remember babysitting Michael and Sue at that time. And during that time I met my husband, Skip. We have stayed in touch over the years but as happens, life gets busy with growing family and I regret not having seen her recently. Oh, I almost forgot, her cinnamon rolls were the best. I will always remember Nelda fondly (as she would sign her cards and letters) and am saddened by her sudden passing. My sincere sympathy to you, Frank, all her children and also her sisters. I am sorry I can't attend her celebration of life but my husband had a stroke recently and can't be left alone. Again, my sincere condolences, Eleanor I
