“Peggy and family: We are so sorry to hear about Nelson’s passing. I always enjoyed your visits to Rising Sun and loved hearing Nelson’s storytelling. He always had a special way of telling his stories and I can still see his smile and humor. He was such an awesome man and he will surely be missed. Love you, Peggy and please know you will be in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.”
