May God bless you and comfort you now and in the times to come.
Love forever and always.

Aunt Teresa,
I love you and wish that I could be with you during this time. Uncle Nate was an inspiration to many. He was an amazing person and I am honored to be apart of his life. I believe that he carried on the Plotkin values as his parents would have wanted..honesty, integrity, respect, hard working, and caring.
I love you,
Julie

We hadn’t seen each other in some time because of the distance between Danville and Fl. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to call.
