Ricardo Cordova Godoy Relation to Deceased: nephew I will write this in spanish because is the language of my heart: Tío querido, simplemente soy un legado tuyo de alegría, humildad y simpatía. Prometo siempre llevar a todo lugar una parte de tu alma que siempre alegrará al mundo. Tu lo sabes, mas que mi tío, eres mi amigo por siempre.

Rebecca and Brandon Brown Relation to Deceased: Friend and Neighbor Nelson was a gentle man who will always be remembered for his smile and huge heart. He was the best neighbor a person could ask for. His presence was always a blessing and he will never be forgotten. We had the luxury of knowing him for about 10 years and we know that he is smiling down on us wishing we could see the beautiful place he is now. You will truly be missed and we all know your in a better place. WE LOVE YOU NELSON!!!

Miriam Marino Relation to Deceased: Friend/former co-worker It has been a long time since I’ve heard you sing, Nelson, but I close my eyes and think of you and it is as if you are right here, making me laugh and singing Spanish ballads. You were always a true gentleman, ever so kind, and my daughter and I will remember you with love. My comfort in this loss is knowing that friends are friends forever, if the Lord is Lord of them. See you in the morning. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before.

María Eugenia Muñoz Relation to Deceased: Co worker, Friend Nelson, mi amigo, I will always remember your beautiful smile and sense of humor. Permanecerás vivo en mis recuerdos para siempre. Rest in PEACE. Qué descanses en PAZ. The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody

jasmin caraballo Relation to Deceased: friend and coworker Dearest Nelson, I couldn’t believe when I heard the news. I am deeply sorry for your family nelson always came in the office smiling and willing to help. Nelson would always make sure he left me with a smile on my face . It will not be the same without you. Farewell my good friend until we meet again. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
