Loved Nelle! Her and Gust always treated me like a second son when visiting my best friend Manny (Mike) from Penn State! Great Lady ... Great Life! Go with God and say Hi to my Mom and Dad up there!

To all the Politis family, I loved Nellie and she was a wonderful person and colleague. We had great times together at Swissvale and Woodland Hills HS. We loved to tease her and hear her laugh. Gus and Nellie were a great couple and I miss him too. May their souls rest in peace and I pray for them. God bless you all.

Nellie was a wonderful teacher and person. I learned so much from her. May she rest in peace knowing she left behind a wonderful family and a great legacy. My greatest sympathies to her family who bear this loss.
