Leave a tribute for Nelda Hildebrand Lambert.
Nelda was a lifelong friend from early childhood! So many precious memories I will always treasure. Our later memories include when we traveled to the assemblies and conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses together and had so much fun just laughing and talking and reminiscing about our childhood and our families. Nelda loved learning and taking care of her family! Will miss her so much until we see her again! Love you my dear sister! ❤️❤️
Nelda was one of the sweetest women I've ever known. I will miss her deeply. Can't wait until I meet up with her in Paradise💗
So very sorry of the passing of Nelda. I know she was a very special lady to so many. Sending you all so much love and prayers.
