Grandma nelson
I dont think I ever told you or if you ever knew how much you ment to me I really am sorry I never told you and I never keep in touch with you once I got older but you really was the most important person in my childhood and I was so blessed to have you in my life and my childrens lifes
My grandma was a very nice lady. She was always willing to help others before herself. I feel privileged to have been able to call Arleen Nelson my wonderful grandma. Lily
My mom Arlene (which is the spelling we all, including mom, thought was correct till about 3 years ago :-) ) was one of those classic beauties, both inside and out. She loved and cared for everyone that was lucky enough to know her. It did not matter if you were family or friend, if she thought you could use a helping hand she offered it. She will be missed by everyone that knew her. I owe a lot to her for the man I have become. I love you so much and rest peacefully mom.
My mom was the kindest most generous person I knew. She was not. only my mother she was my best. Friend I could tell her anything she never judged me I will.miss her every minute of everyday until we are together again in heaven. Love You forever mom your daughter and friend. Vickie
I grew up living next door to Arleen and Dale Nelson. She was the mom that would help with the Kool-Aid stand, or would patch up a scraped knee. She taught respect and had an open door policy to her house that resonated respect to everyone who entered. It is hard to fathom she is not presiding over 96th and D street. She was always there. I especially enjoyed visiting her as an adult, when all could be appreciated as to what she stood for. To all of the Nelson family, I, as do all of the Slater family, offer our sincerest condolences. We all grew up knowing her. To Mr. Dale Nelson, I thank you for asking such a great woman to be your wife! It won't be the same without her.
I couldn't believe the terrible news of your passing. I thought you would live forever. I am greatful to have had the opportunity to grow up with you as a grandma in my early years. You accepted me and my siblings and later my niece and nephews and loved and cared for everyone. Rest in paradise grandma Nelson ❤️
Grandma Nelson was the best when my grandma passed (uncle Charlie's mom) she took me under her wing I so wish I could of told her just how much she ment to me and giving my daughter that same grandmother granddaughter relationship she truly was My uncle's and I savior I know my grandma was right there greeting her at heavens door for being Grandma Nelson to her grandchildren and great grandchildren maybe more but never less than her own
Grandma was the most caring person in the world. She loved all her kids, grandkids, siblings and parents very much. She was like my second mom. Bought me clothes, school lunches and always after school or work would invite me over for dinner. She was and always will be the sweetest lady I ever had in my life. So many memories of her I will never forget. We all love you grandma. I'll see you soon.
