Nelson's Harley

Nelson was building a miracle.  We can be so proud of him.

            We remember his kindness, his humor, his creative mind.
            We remember his dedication to the principles he believed in.
            His 36 years on earth were not enough to fulfill his dreams,
            but his example continues to inspire honesty and generosity in
            others.  We can only imagine the person he would have become
            had his life not been stolen away so suddenly and violently.

                           If only we could have said good-bye.

            His family and friends will hold his memory in their hearts forever. 

            Everyone Loved Nelson.  He was just that kind of guy.
