John Nelson Batiste

We are so sorry for your loss. He was a kind and gentle man. We loved talking with him, especially about gardening. He will be missed so much. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of his family.

So sorry to hear of your father's death. May God hold you in his arms during this difficult time.
Carol and James Gentz, Jr.

Marilyn, James and Cecile,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your families.
It was indeed and honor to know both of your parents.

Ms. Ella was always so very sweet to me and shined with her quite spirituality and Mr. John was also so very sweet and kind and very spiritual too.

I know that it is hard to loose your parents but knowing that they are in Heaven together with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will bring you peace of mind and joy to see them again one day.

I truly am sorry about your dad. I pray that you and your family find peace. To God be your strength and guide. Your dad is home with his heavenly father. I know that the words that people write, really doesn't help or mean much at first,(beleive me I know, I've been there) but later they come in handy and helps alot. Mourn now then live on memories.

To Cecilia, Marilyn, James and Family
I am sending you all my deepest condolences. I am sorry for your loss. Your dad was a wonderful man. He will be truly missed by all. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you all.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad my prayers are with all of you.

To Marilyn and James, sorry to hear about your Dad my prayers are with y'all.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to the Batiste Family. Mr. Nelson was one of the nicest people that I have ever met. He was the type of person that would give you the shirt off of his back. He was a very quite and soft spoken person, who never really said alot. I am gonna miss him. I will cherish all the fond memories that I have shared with him during our bingo days in Winnie. I know that he isn't sad anymore because he has been reunited with the love of his life. He and Mrs. Ella are walking around heaven together. I pray that they he rests in peace now. Gone but never forgotten.

Come with me

Days are brighter; cares are lighter, than they once had been Fear's dissolved; you've answered my call and stood with me til" the end. Now come with me my child, and lay your burdens down shown my love and mercy. My grace did surely abound the love you gave thoughout the years is what make your life complete. Now you've come to join me, while sitting at my feet. God bless all of you. Raymond & Mollie Rivon

Safely Home
I'm home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh so happy & bright! There is perfect joy & beauty. In this everlasting light.
All the pain & grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed; I'm now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. And He came Himself to meet me. In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still: Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will.
When the work is all completed, He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Safely Home
God Bless all of you, Mr. Nelson will be missed dearly.
