Nell's Memorial

On a beautiful July day, family from around the country and across the globe, gathered to remember the life of Nell Cimino.
The memorial was a beautiful memory of her life, with Hazel (Don's mom) reading a poem and Nancy sharing a very stirring letter, to Robert singing a song he wrote for his mom and all the children singing and playing music in her honor. A prayer was said, memories of Grandma shared, a video montage was met by smiles and tears, and she was off with a balloon farewell (she decided to stick around in hte trees and enjoy the party!!).
Lisa and Steve opened their beautiful home so that all could enjoy the laughter of friends and family, share the gift of music together, play games, come together over a wonderful meal and most of all...........cherish the memory of a wonderful woman!!
