Our thoughts and ;prayers are with you and your family at this time. Although we didn't know Nelson, his brother Clyde loved him and the years they were able to be together. Today he is looking down from heaven sending a little warmth during this time. When you find an unexpected penny it will be Nelson letting you know he is watching over you.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy. No doubt the loss of such a dear loved one will be felt by many. May you take comfort in the fact that sickness and death will soon be things of the past. The Bible promises that Jehovah God "...will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore..." (Revelation 21:4)
