Eulogy for “Mami,” Nelly T. Birchfield My “Mami” had a direct flight to Heaven on March 25, 2017; only a couple of hours after I had told her what an amazing Mom she had been to me and that I was going to be okay. Another piece of my heart is broken, since my Dad “Buck” joined our Heavenly Father forty-seven years ago. I pray that they are reunited in God’s heavenly kingdom. I could not have asked for a better Mami. She was a loving, giving and funny Nelly! For all those that knew her, you know what a special person she was and she will always remain in our hearts and prayers. I miss you Mami! Donna. Invitation Family, friends and brothers and sisters in Christ are cordially invited to honor my Mami at a Funeral Mass, as follows: Date: April 24, 2017 Time: 12:10 p.m. Place: St. Anthony’s Catholic Church 540 Olive Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802 A Committal Service will follow at 1:30 p.m., at: All Souls Cemetery and Mausoleum 4400 Cherry Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90807
