JCNA Members,

I talked with David Rath, Nelson's son, Monday morning when he informed me about Nelson's passing. I specifically asked if Nancy would want everyone to send flowers or if there was a specific charity she would want donations made to. David said he would provide more details as they become available.

Cards may be sent to:

Nancy Rath
