Gloria, Newell, Debbie and Nate,
We are so sorry for the loss of our cousin, Nate. We will surely miss our telephone conversations with him in French. He was always jolly and comical. We enjoyed having him live with us in New Orleans during his college break days. He will be missed.

It was always such fun visiting with Nate & Gloria at Jefferson Orleans. Nate was so proud of his family & never failed to bring one or more of them into our conversations. We miss them both and feel blessed to have been a small part of Nate's life.

Mrs. Gloria and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Nate. It is a sad day when someone so amazing is taken from us. There isn't a childhood memory with our families that I don't remember his strong hugs and huge smile. You all are all in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest Sympathy and Love Joni Luquet

Mr. Normand was not only like a father; he was a friend. Nate, Mr. Normand's son, and I spent countless hours playing outside together. Mr. Normand always had a warm, friendly hello and took the time to ask and listen to how things were going. He is a positive memory of my childhood, and I feel blessed to have known him. Our prayers are with all of you at this time and our constant prayers for the health of Mrs. Normand and your families. With love, Karla Kleinpeter Raby and family

I will very much miss our occasional conversations (since 1971)as we trimmed our bushes on Ithaca St, talked about our children who grew-up together, our health and how we would solve the world's problems. I (and my family) will sincerely miss you and will pray for your soul as you embark on your journey.
