ReplyDeleteMy mother met this young man once when he was in Canada and thought he was a beautiful soul and told him she would hide him if he would just stay and not go back and he no, he must go back. He was no polite and warm in spirit. May God bless your soul Nigel while you rest in the hands of God. May your soul rest in peace.

ReplyDeleteI went to Nigel's viewing and funeral yesterday. I met to his wife, parents, brother, grandparents and other relatives and friends. He was greatly loved and admired by all. It was really sad letting him go. I pray that we will get the strength and courage to move on and cherish the ones in our lives presently, because life is too short to do otherwise. RIP NIGEL
