Mary,
I just found out about Nathan's passing and can not make the service.
I hope you know how profoundly Nathan effected my life , I was baptized by him and that alone made me such a better person. But he also married me , deadicated my children and baptized Stacey, he was a loving kind remarkable person whom I am so proud to say was my pastor. I will forever love Nathan Wood and you and just want you to know the depth of my feelings for him.
On Tuesday the 17th the day of Nathan's passing my first granddaughter Arielle Christine Nee was born. God has Nathan in his arms but has given us a new life to cherish and I will try my best to pass on the love that Nathan taught me to my granddaughter. God Bless you and Nick I am praying and loving you. Gaynor Evans

Nathan was a wonderful man - always kind and comforting.I knew him when he was with us at First Baptist Church in Plymouth. It was always a joy to see him and to hear his messages. He will be missed by many. Thank you, Mary, for sharing him with us.

My Uncle Nathan was a kind, generous, patient and loving man. He was my spiritual teacher and guide as a young child and into my early teens while he was ministering/living in Billerica. I will forever remember his baptizing me, and handing me my first Bible which I continue to read since it was given to me in 1978. Another gift he gave to me was officiating my marriage 20 years ago this December. He will forever remain in my heart.
