Dear Marjorie and family
Although I did not know Nelson well, what I do know was he was a very sweet man and very kind and when my dad (Lou Dulong) was alive he spoke of him often. My heart goes out to all of you knowing what you are going through at this sad time. I am unable to attend the service as I am out of the state, but I wanted to send my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Fondly,
Dot Sorensen
