Sister Nelson and family, we’re so sorry to learn of Brother Nelson’s passing but we certainly don’t mourn as those who have no hope in Christ. You and Brother Nelson always encouraged us and lifted us up and demonstrated Christian hospitality that transcended denominational lines. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
