It was my honor to get to know you and I will see again my friend.

We were so shocked to hear about Nolan and you are in our prayers as you say goodby to your best friend, your husband and the father, grandfather, brother and uncle to so many who loved him plus all his many cousins and so many people who will miss him very much. He has touched so many people’s lives and as he entered heaven’s gates, I am sure God said “well done, good and faithful servant” plus he will be with so many of his family that are waiting for him. God bless all of you and we are so glad that we got to be together last year for a few days. Lots of love, Myrna and Ray
The Lord kept Nolan on Earth long enough that Ron and I could meet him and allow him to touch our life. He was a brave, honorable man and a wonderful example of the Christian faith. I know he is now at peace with his beloved Jesus Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with you Willie, your family, and Max too, during this sad time.
Nolan’s sweet character and generosity of spirit is evident in all he did. Nolan and Willie’s love and concern for animals was a common bond between us and he was always so willing to help whenever he could. We will miss you, dear Nolan.
I was so sorry to hear of Nolan’s passing. Nolan was a wonderful, giving man. May God wrap you in his loving arms and give you peace.
Honestly a true man of God with a great heart and love for life. He was a very special friend to us and will surely be missed.
