Nate was a very dear friend of mine. I met him when he resided with my boyfriend who also passed away in a similar way. Nate helped me to recover from the pain of losing Tony. I hope he knows how much that meant to me and how grateful I am for the comfort and understanding he gave me. I will miss him always and he will forever hold a place in my heart. I'm deeply saddened by his passing but I know, like I knew with Tony, that God helped him by bringing him home. Nathan is safe and happy now with God. I am grateful for the time we spent together. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. We lost a wonderful person. This isn't goodbye though it's only see ya later. RIP Nathaniel Daniel (our inside joke).
