On behalf of the Ballous, who were your dear friends and next door neighbor, we, the children, are so sorry to hear of your loss. I sincerely regret that I cannot be there for Mr. Nelson's homecoming, however we are making plans to visit in early November. Whenever I visited Mom, he would always greet me with a friendly smile and have conversation. I know he will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
