I was so sad when I heard about Nelson passing away. He was such a sweet and kind person and a wonderful friend to my husband, Jeff. I will always remember how I could hear the smile in his voice when he would call to speak to Jeff. You couldn't help but smile too! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
