I absolute loved Nathan. We went to church together and he was funny, sweet and kind. I know he is in heaven enjoying all our friends who have gone on before. And of course being with Jesus.

You are in heaven now where you will live forever more with thy all mighty God. You can now spend eternity with you wife and watch over your family from the heavens above. You will be dearly missed at the Cathedral of Prayer. You are with the Angels and are Blessed
