Rest in peace Nathan. A good man.
Uncle Nat faithly served his God, his Country and our family without complaint. From fish-frys to foot-washings he demonstrated leadership and strong charcter. For those of us who were watching, this Godly member of the Greatest Generation taught us all how to do justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly with God. He is with God now, but his legacy lives within all whose lives he touched.
Thank you for demonstrating how we should live.
I will always have fond and happy memories of Nathan and Georgia.
Very sad during this time and praying God is comforting the family.
We will miss our loved Mr. Stephens. We could not have asked for a better neighbor.
The Stokes.
