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).

There is no greater loss than that of a child. Although it is not understood, Nathan's mission for God was fulfilled. The love he shared with family and friends along with pleasant memories will sustain you and even though it may not seem so now, time will be your best friend.
