Nelson,
I will miss your jokes & the way you would light up a room every time you walked into it. I know the last few years have been a struggle for you, but now you can rest & look down on your family & wait for them to join you. I miss you but will see you soon.
Tim-I know how difficult this is but always remember those memories, the laughs & jokes you shared & always keep him close to your heart. Love you!
