Nelson, I can not believe you are gone, I can not believe that I won't just run into you and catch up like we had just seen each other the day before. I hope that you have found the peace in death that you could not find in life. My prayers will forever be with you and your family.

To the Family
Miss me, but let me go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go
For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go
