Charlene, was our next door neighbor, and we were extremely lucky because of it. How wonderful it was to have the Nelson's close. She, Dave and their boys took wonderful care of us.....especially our kids. What a wonderful family they are and we never had better neighbors where ever we moved to. They were better than the T.V. Nelsons by far. Condolences to Rick, Jeff and their families.............you're loved.
