BROTHER NELMS IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT EVER DID IT. HE WAS BETTER BY NATURE THAN MANY BY PRACTICE. I CONSIDER HIM A FRIEND, MENTOR, CONFIDANT, AND FELLOW DEACON. GOD REST HIS SOUL...

My dad was the BEST father for me! He was tough when he needed to be but was also gentle (in his own way) as well. I loved him more and more as I got older. I loved him for how he taught me how to be a better father and husband. My dad was and still is my hero! Every hero doesn't wear a cap because they don't need to....it would get in the way of their wings! Daddy I love you and will continue to strive to make you proud! I will take care of Karen and your grandchildren the best way....your way!
Billy was my brother-in-law for most of my adult life. I traveled to many places with him, my sister Thelma and my nephew Cedric. When I was promoted to my first professional job Billy bought me a leather brief case and a Cross pen set. I love and miss him dearly,
