About Alice Louise Nelson

My sisters and I called our grandmother "Nana". She was a most wonderful loving grandmother. Her childhood was very sad, as she lost the three people closest to her by the age of 12 and had to move away from her siblings in Los Angeles. Her daughter Audrey (our mother) wrote down her story, and it can be found under the Media tab and also in the Timeline for 1967: "Alice's Story as told by her daughter Audrey". (JPR)
