To the Lockett family, I would like to extend my condolences. So sorry for your lost Mr. Bobby Lockett.

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)

We saddened by the loss of Nellie Ruth passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Ophelia Nealy and family

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 my family, May the Lord give you comfort during this trying time. To Bobby, God will comfort you and bring about peace and understanding. To her children, be happy and proud that God gave you such a loving mom, cherish the memories. To the rest of us, we will be here to live, share, and pass on our love to the rest of the family, share our memories of Nellie, pass on the wisdom she imparted in each of us. May He continue to cover us with His Grace and Mercy daily.

To my family, we are far apart, but prayerfully close in each others hearts. To Bobby, may God bring comfort in the days ahead, her children, feel honored that you had such a wonderful and loving mom. The rest of the family, "Weeping will endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning". May God cover all of us with His loving Grace and Mercy.

The best sister anyone could ever ask for a friend a confidant a good mother, grandmother and wife she will be truly missed, I love her I love her to my big sister. Love always Beverly

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

To the Lockett Family: Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Hold tight to your memories, and trust in Jehovah God for the strength needed to endure. Psalm 46:1 assures us "God is a refuge for us, a help that is readily found." My condolences, S. Acker
