Back        Words of Comfort

Tue, Nov 16, 2010 Our prayers are with you in this very sad time.   Your dad loved each of you.   He was proud of his parents, brothers, sisters, and nieces and nephews.   I felt I knew each of his children. He dearly love you and your children!
 

When I did his family history for him as a present -- he was so appreciative. He wanted to pay me -- but I told him that he had paid his dues to all of us in full -- by being a soldier.

Nile White was a hero and a patriot. May he rest in peace with little Lori Ann whom he spoke of so often.

He never took anyone for granted and loved and worried about you all. Jean -- take care of yourself.

Love and Prayers, Alice Click
