Nate, I have wondered where you were? I searched your name and realized the The Lord took you home! I know, He welcomed you into His Presence with a "Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant." I know, your love for Him has touched many!

At our wedding reception (which was about 18 years ago) we had little bells to ring at each table. And when rung we would kiss. Nate decided to instead walk up to our table and sing his version of "You are my Sunshine". and of course we smiled real big and then kissed. Still makes me smile thinking about it. Nate brought "Joy" where ever he was.
