Living on Burroughs street across from the Lamolys for many years. Great memories growing up in a great neighborhood on the “Island”. I last saw Nella and spoke to her at a meeting for Danvers housing tenants on Stone street. So sorry for your loss. Ginny Gallant Sidmore
Nella was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. I had the privilege to be her pastor for her final few years. Each time she came to church she would seek me out, grab my arm and hang on as I hugged her. She always had a smile even in the midst of cancer and heart problems. She handled everything challenge with charm and grace She was quite a lady. I and the church will miss her strength and enthusiasm. But I know she had a deep relationship with Jesus Christ and through His blood had her ticket reserved for heaven’s streets of gold. Pastor Drew McGee
Thank you so much for for thinking about my mom
“In life, you were loved dearly, in death your are loved still. In our hearts you will always hold a place, no one else will ever fill”🙏
Nella was introduced to me by her nephew, and my best friend, Ron Lamoly Jr., his Aunt Nella also just happened to end up being my neighbor for around 30 years. She was always fun to visit with and to share some memories of the good ol’ times with. She will be missed very much. 🙏
