Nelwyn was a very special person to me since we first met when we were young. She was a very classy lady, with a soft heart & gentle spirit. I am saddened by her passing but will never forget her. May she ever Rest in Peace. Praying for comfort for all her family.M
So sorry to hear this. Nelwyn was sweet, fun, smart, and always beautiful. Our sympathy and love to Nancy and all the family.
Nelwyn was one of the best administrators and most gracious person my family had ever met. She made our years at ACM rich with learning, nurturing, and growing. She touched so many lives and I considered her a dear friend! Thoughts and prayers to your family!
It has been a long time since we have seen each other but know you are in my great memories, love & prays for the whole family
Like so many of Nancy’s childhood friends, I remember Nelwyn as the beautiful, sweet older sister who was loved by everyone. I also remember that we all hoped to have the kind of romance and commitment that she and Melvin shared. My love and prayers go out to Nancy and her family
