They were a close family who was so proud of their heritage. Margaret, she was so proud of you. I admire you so much for the way you took care of her, I know it wasn’t always easy. All of you are in our prayers, we love you! Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Linda.
John Couch says
I have fond memories of Aunt Nell. I remember she bought a new 65 Impala SS, cool car. She took Margaret and a carload of us Couch kids to the State Fair that same year! I was only 9 years old, but will always remember that day! I thought she was the neatest Aunt ever! I also really admire Margaret for taking care of Nell all those difficult years!
Gary & Kathy Couch says
So many great memories of Nell, it’s hard to believe that her journey here on earth is over. But she is in heaven with her (our) sweet Jesus, her sweet Art, and siblings, Kerny and Margaret!! My prayers go out to all of her siblings, grandkids, and especially her daughter Margaret Ann. Love this family! God bless each of you Gary & Kathy
