My dearest friend Nate, you will be truly missed but NEVER forgotten. I'll treasure all the great memories over the years that you, Shelia and I shared. Those rides to GE, laughing and talking and listening to some great music. Our telephone calls laughing about old days. I love you Nate. To Sheila, kids, and grandkids you all will forever be in my prayers and always in my heart and I love you all dearly.--Everleana Walker and family
