Dear Butch, I heard from a lady who is still involved with Christian Science in Big B that Nelson had passed. She had seen him recently and said he had looked great and he was the Nelson we all remember. I have great memories of our families' friendship during our growing up years. Your dad and my dad, Jack, were 'brothers'. I have warm and happy memories of your dad. He was kind and always ready to do whatever needed to be done and loving God in all that he did. Sorry also to hear of Nancy's passing! You are still in Snyder while I have lived in many of the NE states with my family. My email is [email protected] in case you want to write back and catch up at all. My thoughts are with you at this time, Linda Volkert Gundel
