We remember Gwen & Nelson even before Linda & how excited and surprised
they were when they learned of her coming:) They were a great example for us all. We also remember when Nelson stood up
to teach a class (with no notice) on the beatitudes and did a beautiful job. I have no doubt he has already heard God say
"You have been a good and faithful servant"♥ Anyone that knew Nelson is better for it!

My family knew Nelson and his
mother for many many years.
What a wonderful person he was and I know that he is smiling down on us now.

Nelson
was such an inspiration and joy to know. One of our favorite memories were the messages he would leave on our voice mail.
He would always have to call a second time to leave all he wanted to say. Always a witness for Christ and shared with all
who spoke with him. We will miss his friendly smile and words of encouragement. Till we meet again in heaven. Our symapthies
to the family. Love you all.

Dear Linda and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your
dad/grandfather/great grandfather's passing. He was a special person in anyone's life who ever met him. He was a
soldier for the Lord. I know he will be missed by many, he has gone on to his just reward. That is something to celebrate.
love you sister.

as they provide a measure of hope!
