Lisa, Gary, and Hanna, David, Laura and I are very saddened by the passing of Nathan. I always remember his curious nature and inquisitive mind growing up as your next door neighbor. I specifically recall a time when he was at home with Judith and she needed to do something and she told him he was “in charge” for a while (I think he was 7 or 8 years old). I called to talked to her and he answered the phone. When I asked for her he hesitated and after a pause said to me “but I’m in charge” not wanting to pass the phone to her. It was so cute!!! These are hard times for a family, especially losing a core family member and a child and my words will never come close how sad I was to learn this news today. You are in our hearts and prayers and I pray you all can find peace at some level in 2023. Sending huge hugs and many prayers your way during this difficult time. With much love ….. Mark Backlin. ❤️❤️
