    So sorry for your loss. All of us in Dan Midgett’s family remember Aunt Nellie fondly from our childhood visits to Rodanthe. She was a very special lady with a twinkle in her eye always. I remember her jokes and the fun she had with Creedon, Aunt Hilda and all of us. Dad is in a nursing home here with Betty (he has Alzheimer’s and she has dementia) or we would be there with you to celebrate Aunt Nellie’s life of 99 years. I know it was a good one!
