I'm in denial, losing you. I always said, I will never let you go. You be so proud of me. The lawn looks beautiful. You beat me to heaven along with your dad. He too would be so proud. I miss you so much. When, I'm out to the places you and I have been, I have flashbacks. Miss you beyond expression.

We still remember you Nelson. Whenever we look at your house we could feel the emptiness. We always look at your house as we were neighbors. May you Rest In Peace. We can't believe it has been a year since you were gone.

Nelson was a special guy. I never heard a bad word about him, and he never had a bad thing to say about anybody else. He always brought a great smile with him, he was a kind and gentle soul that will be missed. RIP Nelson

I knew Nelson for about my whole life. We were on excellent terms although I didn't have the privilege to know him as a close friend.He never had a bad word to say. Only good words and deeds. I am very saddened he did not get to enjoy more of life on this earth as he so well deserved. He was always pleasant to deal with. It is rare to find people in this world who are so nice & with a positive demeanor. The world is worse off without him.

I was very sad to see that Nelson has passed away. He was a really nice guy. We went to high school together and many years after graduation I ran into him at Ellis Hospital. He was dropping toys for tots off at the Ellis Hospital toys drop box, he told me he had been doing it for years. This act of kindness showed what a truly kind human being Nelson was.

Sincere sympathy to the family. Nelson was a one of a kind person, always pleasant and very sincere, he would always take time to speak with you and always made you feel good, always caring about you and how you were doing. The world should have more people like Nelson in it making it a better place for all.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Friedman family. We are saddened to hear of Nelson's passing. Nelson and I worked side by side at the USPS for many years. He always was a pleasure to work with and helped to make my shift pass more quickly. We would always meet at our annual Greek Festival each year for a meal. I truly will miss him. RIP Nelly. God Bless you.
