My condolences Mrs. Nelson. Rest in peace my friend. Only knew him from the PMs we exchanged, but sensed he was one fine man. Hated to see this news this evening, just knew he was going to be fine.
Thanks Eek. Nelson was my friend. He and I had a continual conversation via PMs. We often discussed politics and related matters. We didn't always agreed, especially when it came to socialized medicine. I'm a conservative, Nelson was a liberal, so you can imagine how those conversations sometimes went. But in the end there was always a mutual respect and we always remained friends. Even though we never met face to face, I came to know and love him as a brother. Some of you may not know, but Nelson was a brain cancer survivor of eight years. I know since that time he treasured each and every day of his remaining life. He fought the good fight, but in the end, the Good Lord called him home. I will miss my friend.
Rest easy, brother Nelson. I'll miss shooting the shit with you about the morning's events on your balcony and your quest to create the stinkiest strain in the world. Most of all, I'll miss the excitement of logging in to see that I have a PM from you in my inbox, knowing that it would somehow brighten my day.
Til we meet again. :smokebuds:
Love and healing karma to Mrs. Nelson and the family. :hug:
