Carrie and Family,

Rita and I would like to express our deepest sympathy. Nathan had that magical way with people. Always a gentleman! You will miss him, we will miss him. He set a standard that we can only hope to achieve.

Carrie and family,
Bill and I wish to express our sympathy and love to you at this sad time. We will miss his greeting us at church with his smile and you so happy at his side. Nathan's quiet Christian life infleunced many. He was my Sunday School teacher for part of my teen years and was so generous in giving me a ride to work at Miller and Rhodes the summer after my first year in college. God bless and comfort you.
