My heart is heavy for your loss. I will never forget the kind, friendly and gentle spirit that Nate possessed. He was a special man and we should all consider ourselves privledged to know him. When I heard of his passing, I smiled to myself because our loss on earth is so painful, but what he gained is beautiful!

He will have eternal peace and I will look forward to seeing him again. I will pray that God will give you abounding comfort as only he can.

I'm very sorry to hear of Nate,s passing. I'm sorry to say in recent years I didn't know much about him. I do have all the memories at the McWilliams Reunions with Lewis and Nate and my grandfather Clifton with their singing and strumimg. My memories of Nate are of a kind and gentle man. I know God has a special place for him. He no longer has pain and suffering and is up with all his relatives and friends that went before him. Please try to be at peace with his passing.
