Tears of joy for a life full of deep love. We are never ready to loose them. "I have come that they might have life and have it to the full." Jn 10:10 What a wonderful husband, dad, grandparent and friend Mr. Nelson was. His legacy will live on. My love to you all.

TO MY KISSY AND THE NELSON KIDS: DAVID, THERESA, FRANCIS, HUNTER, MARY PAT, CARROLL, ANNIE, JANE, JAMES, JOHN, AND WILLIAM
MARCH 11, 2009; I WAS INTRODUCED TO TWO ADORABLE PEOPLE I COULD HAVE EVER MET, PAW-PAW AND KISSY. FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT LAUGHTER HERE WITH YOUR ADORABLE PARENTS. ALL THE JOKES, "BEING COMMON" AS MAMA WOULD CALL IT, AND THE TEACHINGS I HAVE HEARD. EVERY MORNING I WOULD HEAR A BEAUTIFUL SONG BEING SUNG BY PAWPAW MY FAVORITE MARINE "GOOD MORNING TO YOU, GOOD MORNING TO YOU. WE'RE ALL IN OUR PLACES WITH SUN SHINING FACES AND THAT IS THE WAY WE START OUR NEW DAY. " PAWPAW WOULD SING THAT SONG AND GREET HIS BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, KISSY, AND SEAL IT WITH A KISS AND SAY "I LOVE YOU MAMA." KISSY WOULD COME DOWN THE HALL WAY WITH HER BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND SAY "IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE" KNOWING THAT I AM APPRECIATED MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. IT IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THEY BOTH WOULD TELL ME HOW MUCH THEY LOVE ME AND HOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE MY HELP. ONE DAY THEY TOLD ME I'M NOT THEIR FRIEND BUT I'M FAMILY. THAT MADE ME CRY TO KNOW I MEAN THAT MUCH TO THEM TO KNOW I'M PART OF THEIR FAMILY. ALL THE PARTIES THAT I WAS INCLUDED IN REALLY MADE FEEL THAT LOVE. IF I WASN'T THERE IT JUST WASN'T THE SAME. I SAID ALL THAT TO SAY THIS. I WANNA THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND THE DEPTH OF MY SOUL HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO LOVE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN YA'LL LIVES. "THANK YOU." THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL PARENTS. THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME TO GIVE THE BEST CARE TO YOUR PARENTS THAT YOU ALL LOVE SO DEEPLY. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPRUTUNITY TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH I TRUELY LOVE AND CARE FOR YOUR PARENTS, THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M JUST AS MUCH OF A NELSON AS YOU. I HAVE HAD MANY HAPPY MOMENTS WITH YOU ALL, LAUGHING SO HARD, AND JUST HAVING A BLAST. AGAIN THANK YOU ALL AND MOST IMPORTANT THANK GOD FOR PUTTING YALL IN MY LIFE.
CELEBRATING 4YRS OF TLC TO YOUR PARENTS

Beautiful Nelson Family, I am so saddened to hear of Great Uncle David's passing. He was a hero in so many ways, and he must have been so proud of all of you. I hope that the wonderful memories and funny stories being shared in Beaumont tonight will bring you comfort and peace.
