Sj I am so sorry for your loss of Steve.
He has gone where there is no more pain and suffering!

Now, NNSTDLBBBYA!!!

Nesters, I have a meeting out of town in the early morning so won't be here in the a.m.!

Good morning, Nesters.

First, Judy, you were my first thought and first prayer this morning. Sending you love, light, and hugs this morning.

I'm sorry I have been AWOL. The bored meeting is over (WOOO HOOO) but my action item list is long and it is time to start preparing for our annual meeting in July.

Today, I'm off to Indiana to visit my parents and celebrate my aunt's 90th birthday. I'll be glad to be with my family for a few days. I will check in when I can.

You all take care and I'll check in when I can.

Hugs and love to you all!

My sympathy to you, Judy, and to your family, and to the family here at Nesters.

Sending love to you all.

To Judy and her family.......

You are supported by one of the most loving group of folks I have ever encountered. I know you see the love surrounding you in this sad time. For Steve I write this......

The wonders we cannot see, are hidden beyond the veil,
he knows, he sees, he puts his wings of love around you,
from now through eternity.

Bless the years you spent together, bless the last hours you had,
remember the joy, smile and it will help you get through the sad.
With much love, respect and honor for your beloved Steve.
