Dear Fran & family, We are heartbroken that Nelson has left this world. But, rejoicing that he has gained a new home and is once again pain free. We have lived across the street for 25 years now, and have seen him doing everything from cutting the grass, painting the entire house, building a trash can enclosure, to building the brick front porch. Whatever he set his mind to, he could do. One time after he had gone fishing, he brought over a plate of freshly fried fish. Those were the best I think I have ever had! Whatever Nelson cooked, you knew it was going to be delicious. Fran, please know that we are here for you for anything you need. All you have to do is “holler”. We love you, Margie & Roland

RIP Uncle Nelson. Wish I could have made it down to see you all. I can rest in the comfort that he is with Nana and Pap, Mark and Esther, and with the rest of the family. But most importantly with Jesus. May God Bless him and the family in this most difficult of time. Peg and I send our love and condolences. And on behalf of mom and dad. We love you all❤
