Praying that Nathan's precious love and light remain in your hearts forever. Although impossible to imagine now, may the weeks and months ahead bring the true remembrance that you will each see him again, for that is God's promise to all. He has called his Angel Nathan home early in life to his rightful place in Heaven. Nathan has his wings back and will be watching over those he loved so deeply.

Our sweet, witty and special nephew. We both love you and will miss you so very much. You were a light in the life of each one of us. You demonstrated God in your life no matter what others thought. So proud to call you our nephew. So glad to have some great memories of things we did together as family, but I sure would love to still be making memories. We love you with all our heart and always will.
