Laura Nacionales wrote a sympathy message

“I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it back for the service. I spoke with James and he wanted to attend, but his wife has been battling a serious illness and wasn't able to take any more time off work. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Been praying for the family. Sad to know the last Nelson sibling as joined his sisters. I will truly miss Uncle Earl. Love, Laura (Linscott) Nacionales”
