I can't put into words what Elder Nellie Lockett meant to me and my son. Missing you is an understatement. We prayed together, shared so much together. You always supported me and pushed me further in ministry and in business. God needed you more and I find comfort knowing you're resting in his arms. I cover the family in prayer and continued strength throughout this journey. She fought a good fight! Continue to lean on the Lord. -Min. Misha Holland (NBWC)

To the Lockett Familly: I want to express our deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers. Nellie was my good friend, Mom and big sister for over 30 years. We had a business together, cooked together, had fun together, watched families grow together and called on God together. She was my shelter in the time of storm. Now we call on God for strength and love as he has called her home to glory. Prayer🙏 She so loved God. My heart is low. Her earthly presence will be missed, but her beautiful spirit will live on through eternity. Much Love Family. From The Family of Celestine Taylor Kerina and Dr. Donita McCants, Orlando, FL

To Lockett's family; Life, like a mist, appears for just day, then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away. Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again. So have faith, and do not wonder for our God (Jehovah) can make us stand and we will live forever as the work of his own hard. Tammy jw.org
