I remember all the good times we shared as kids.  All the trouble we got into, how much you hated to be poked in the eye, the brick when you fell off my front porch, sledding at Buchanon Park.  I remember the good times, the bad times and growing up.  Nelson was always such a character, he put a smile on your face even when you didn’t want to smile.  What I remember the most is the joy written all over Nelson’s face on the day of his wedding and the joy he had in his heart when he became a father.  Even though he wasn’t the one pregnant he was GLOWING!! 
I know Nelson will be in our hearts forever and watching over us all.  His son now has his own personal Guardian Angel.

He will me deeply missed,
Love Always,

Marie and Family

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MY THOUGHT N PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND HERE IS A LITTLE POEM FROM ME TO YOU….WE LOVE YOU N WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH NELSON YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ALWAYS N FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS:

We’ve known lots of pleasure,

And walked in the rain. ,

But now we’re separated ,
And for a time apart,,
But I am not alone- ,
You’re forever in my heart.,

Death always seems so sudden, ,
And it is always sure,,
But what is oft’ forgotten-,
It is not without a cure.,

There may be times you miss me, ,
I sort of hope you do,,
But smile when you think of me,,
For I’ll be waiting for ,
you.

Now there’s many things for you to do,,
And lots of ways to grow,,
So get busy, be happy,and live your life,,
Miss me, but let me go.

A place to prepare,
In the shelter,
Of our Lord’s care,
May this bring comfort,
In the sorrow you bear ,
