I love you guys and looking at these pictures was just so much fun. U. Nelson was the best, to know him was to love him. We are gonna miss him and his jokes and smiles. Now another guardian angel is watching over us. I'm praying for all the family. I loved the pastor mentioning some of his sayings tonight, and I'll also never forget, "No thanks, I just had a bar of Camay!". He was a beautiful person and I am so blessed to have had him be my uncle. Love you all, Michele
