Baker Family,
I attended Nathan's memorial service today, but was unable to express my condolences personally. Drew often talked about his little brother Nathan and the many wonderful experiences that you all shared as a family. Drew will always be one of my favorite students, and I feel so blessed to have gotten to know your family through my work with Drew. I am so sorry that Nathan had to leave this earth so soon, and wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Anything at all we can do for you please don't hesitate to let us know. Love and Blessings to all of Nathan's family.
