"A sad time for sure. Although not a daily part of your life Nelson, I enjoyed our visits when we met in person as well as many good phone conversations. You were a good man for my sister and a good father and grandfather for Mark and Vincent. You will be remembered with love and respect. Go in peace with God. To Marcia and family you are in our prayers. God bless you all and give you strength to endure the pain and sadness of Nelsons passing. I love you."
