In Loving Memory of Dr. Bessie Nelson

I was truly heartbroken to hear of the passing of Sister Nelson, my spiritual mother. From our days at the little church on Fulton Avenue-where she poured so much love, grace, strength, and godly wisdom into my life.

Though I´ve been away for over 3 decades, the foundation you both laid in me still stands strong. Sister Nelson nurtured not only her family, but so many of us who were blessed to call her a spiritual mother.

I thank God for her beautiful life and the profound impact she had on my walk with Christ. I hold Bishop Nelson and the entire family close in prayer, asking God to continue wrapping you in His perfect peace, comfort, and strength.

With deepest love and honor,
Pamela (siblings, Dan, Pat & Zenobia)
