    Lucille ,
    It grieves our hearts for the loss of our beloved neighbor and friend of 30 years. We all know life will never be the same without his smile, friendly wave or our unexpected visits. He was not just a friend but part of our family. You were always there to watch our children and grandchildren grow. You always were supporting of whatever life threw our way and your prayers helped us through difficult times. We hope our prayers will help you and the rest of your family through this most difficult time. Now he is in heaven and pain free. We love you Mr Nelson, you will be greatly missed!. RIP xoxo

    God eased Uncle Freddy’s pain and suffering, and Bill and I know that no words can possibly ease the pain in your heart right now. In time, you will always feel gladness when remembering the good memories, and the heartache will be mostly buried. God bless you and help get us all through this difficult period of grieving. Our love and sympathies to the Nelson family. Everyone who knew Freddy loved him.
