Nate - Often I hear stories of how your Mom and Dad do kind, loving things for less fortunate children and it makes me happy and sad all at the same time. Sad because my heart aches for them and how they must miss you. Happy because I know you are touching the lives of other children through them. You will always be the love that fills there heart. You must be so proud of them! They miss you more than you could ever know! Most of all, even on the day that changed their lives forever, every year they work hard to look past the sadness and are so thankful to be your parents. You truly were a gift! Thinking of you always!

good morning Nathaniel woke up with you on my mind. hard to believe tomorrow will be 8 years that you have been gone. I miss you and wonder how life would be for you if you were still here with us on this Earth. Guess God had a better plan.

Hey bro, Not a day goes by that i dont think about all the times we shared together. I miss you deeply and wish i could just pick up the phone and talk to you or drive over to the house to see you and get my butt kicked in some video games. Wish i could just turn back time to spend just one more day with you. I know i went through some tough times in my life and turned my back against people that turly loved me and wanted to be there for me, only if I could have those days back (should i say years) just to spend that extra time with you. Im sorry that i was not there for that period of time. I feel i wasted those years that i could spent with you but i cant. Ive learned a lot from those times and it made me a better and stronger person to this day. Like always you where there when i truly realized the ones that loved me and wanted to spend time with me. I know your in a better place and in no pain and cant wait to see that big smile on your face and give you a big hug. Love you and miss you like crazy. Please give papa a hug from me.

Nate,you are truly missed. Your mother keeps you alive in her conversations, actions and mostly in her heart. Heaven got a jewel when you went home. You are in heaven where everyday is Sunday. I held you as a baby and was fortunate to continue to be a part of your life. Thank you for always adding to my turtle collection every summer you took vacation. John 11:25-26: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And, whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Live on Nate!!!

Thank you so so much for being around me throughout this hard and diffult time in the past few months I know you've been looking down on everyone in the family and I know for sure you've been looking down upon me, because if you weren't I would've found the job that I have now if it wasn't for you. So I owe you everything for helping me concur and get somewhat back on my feet, I know eventually I will be all the way back with you looking down on me. Thank you my CHAMP I think about you day and night also I think about your mom and Dad I might not call them often, but I do think about them and love dearly.

Nate your nanny and papa are going home the 3rd week in November. Keep an extra carefull eye on both of them. As you know they are almot 90 and maybe slowing down a litte. As you watch over your parents God has great plans for them also. They are always in all the Stewarts prayers. If you would say a special thank you to both of my parents for the life and how they taught me the Love that parents and children share. We still see your smile everyday.

Hey Nate Just wanted talk with you for a few minutes I know being an Angel is very demanding because looking down upon love ones that you inspired over your 15 years on earth is probably a very demanding feet that you do day in and day out. Well I know that deep down in my heart and soul that you are looking down upon me at this time telling me not to give up, well my little buddy I am not going to give up, but I sometimes need a little help from time to time from you when I get down and sad which right now I am. I hope that you will give me the courage and fight to keep thinking in my mind everything will work out soon. I love you and miss you so much thank you once again for listening. I love you and miss you MY KINDOWM CHAMPION

Hey Nate your Uncle Sammy just wanted to say Hi I know in God's World it's magical so I probably shouldn't ask how you you're doing, because I already know the answer. You know it's been a lttle bit over 5 months ago that your Mom and Dad and your entire family lost you it's been really hard, but I know you're looking down upon them to make sure that they are doing well your dad and Chris went to WWE Raw last night (It was the Draft) I know you were there also I bet you had marvelous time because that's what you were all about and I know that's how you are up amongst the Angels in the deep blue and afternoon skies. Nate you know I sit here on April 27th just thinking about you wishing you were still here with us it's been a tough 5 months if there was anything that I could do to bring you back I would if that means giving myself up I would certainly do that. One last thing before I go everything you went through in your 15 years of life I can say YOU ARE MY HERO BIG MAN!!!

I don't recall ever meeting Nathaniel, but while I worked with his dad I felt like I knew him. Terry talked about Nathaniel constantly and his love for him was never a question. So sorry for your loss Terry, but your loss is heaven's gain. Being prayerful for you as you take each day one step at a time.
Much love,

Nate -
it's taken me a long time to write this for you, but man, you leavin' hit me like a ton of bricks. i'm sorry that i didn't visit you while you were in the hospital that last time, but i figured it wouldn't be the last opportunity to see you. nate, those sundays at nanny's made every bad or good week so much better. we had so much in common that i thought of you more as a brother than a cousin. you were a gift to this world, and i can only pray that you are in a better place and feeling no pain. you were courageous, smart, funny and everything i wish i could be in life. simply, you are my hero <3 i miss you. i love you.

I think of you often and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you, no one will ever know
You wish no one farewell, not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last, I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly, your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special; God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.
