Nel's and I were always close, we had fun with lots of laughs when he stayed with me when his rig was getting fixed after hitting a moose. It was sad when he left and it was harder at my Mom's funeral June 2004, knowing that I'd see him again, and trying to be positive without losing it. The day he died, I hit a telephone post due to black ice, and bad weather conditions. I barely got in the door and my sister called. I knew what she was going to tell me. Five people gone on that day. Love you Nel's. See you soon. I know you're watching. Rip
