• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: 'My mother's name was Isabelle Nist Daly. She was always called Isabelle; I don't remember anyone ever calling her Isabella, but her legal name was Isabella and that is how she signed her Last Will and Testiment. This is a beautiful story; one to be told and retold.' Sr. Pat BIOGRAPHY: 'Standing at the top of a long row of steps on her back porch near the screen door, Isabelle smiled to herself as her eyes swept the circumference of her domain. She saw the two fruit trees of apple and cherry strategically placed diagonally - one near the house at the top of the garden and the other across the cement pathway and close to the alley near the bottom of the garden - along the side fence were her plants of flowering purple iris, white daisy, crimson tulips, blue delphinium, pink bleeding heart and gladiolus. Then behind the kidney shaped fish pond against the back fence, were her orange tiger lilies in abundance while closer to the gate her multicolored pansies flourished. BIOGRAPHY: Suddenly, Isabelle was aware of movement beyond the gate high up on the telephone pole in the alley. His repair work completed, a man was now slowly descending to the ground and making his way toward her. She, thinking he might have some information to share, started down the stairs and the cement pathway to the back gate leading to the alley. BIOGRAPHY: The man began with questioning, "You live here? This your backyard?" Wondering is she was going to hear bad news, Isabelle responded, "Yes" to both questions. BIOGRAPHY: "Lady", he said, "I've been working on these telephone poles for 21 years, and I've seen more backyards than you could ever count, but I have to tell you this. I have never seen a yard like yours before today! This yard is elegant! The flowers, the grass, your fish pond and the trees. It is beautiful, a real joy to see from above!" BIOGRAPHY: What a surprise! What a wonderful compliment! What an unexpected Comment! BIOGRAPHY: Submitted by Judy McBride Nist as written by Isabelle's (Isabella) daughter Sister Patricia Daly of Seattle, WA and shared in her Christmas card of 2010.
