God gave life to Michael Clinton Nelson on September 5, 1960. God saw it fit to call him home on April 13, 2017. It is never about how long you live but how well you live, with the time that you have.Michael will always be remembered by his wife Hannah and family as a lover of life. He loved sports, all sports, but was an avid Patriots fan being originally from the New England area. We never know God's plans for his children but we always know that it is the best plan, so as Michael sleeps awaiting the second coming of our Lord, we his family will hold on to the hope that this is not goodbye, but rather, See you on that bright and blessed morning when the dead in Christ shall rise, and we will all be reunited. Until than sleep on in perfect peace, Mike, God's love will cradle you always.
