    Great neighbors are hard to find but in 2002 when we moved to Grande Prairie we lucked out and got Tony and Nella for neighbors. Our deepest sympathy to Nella's children, spouses and grandchildren, you were her life. Will miss you Nella, much love Jim and Sandy Donald

    Nella was a wonderful neighbour and an important part of our family's lives. We were very fortunate to have known her. Most notably was her loving treatment towards our children. She often gave them treats and always brought them joy. Many tears were shed when we learned of her passing. Our favourite neighbour and friend will be missed. Our family is keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers
