Nelda will TRULY be missed by so many! She and Lauren were our customers for many,many years and we have lots of fond memories of them. She will be missed.
My sympathy in the loss of your Mother. I first met Nelda when I worked at Praire Meadows in Altoona. She was one of our favorite guests! I have a crystal pig she brought back to me from a trip to Poland, something great to remember her by. What a great lady, she will be missed.
Chandra and Russ,
Sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. It has been years of course since I have seen her but what I remember is she was truly one of kind. She always had an opinion on a topic!
Take care of yourselves and remember the good times.
While Nelda's passing is a loss to all, she definitely had an impact on all she met. Her efforts on the part of pork producers was heartfelt and productive. And when our family moved to Iowa from Georgia, her wisdom on many matters was given with the best of intentions. She will be missed.
Chandra and Russ,
Cathy and I were so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. To say the least she was one of the great forces and characters in our and our kids lives. Her presence, encouragement and humorous approach to many things in life made a large impact on our children in 4H and also us as parents. Of course, teaming up with her and Lauren while serving the ISU Animal Science department in many roles was always fun and rewarding. The Ames/Gilbert/Story Country was a much better place because of Nelda's love and contributions to the community. She will be missed! God bless and the deepest of sympathy to you and your families.
Unfortunately we are in Texas currently and will not be able to be with you in person, but we are with you in thoughts and prayers. Best, Stro and Cathy
Sending you love and heartfelt sympathy. May God be with you and your family during this difficult time.
