Steve & Dee Hendry

Unfortunately we were away and unable to make the service for Nelson. Steve has great memories of working and having fun with Nelson; and he and Carmen welcomed us into their home when we travelled through Vernon. Nelson and his family were always welcome in Aunt Dolly & George's home and we have fond memories of their stays. He was a great character and will be missed.
