The Finish Line
by nemerson
Well, the road runner has finished his last lap, my friends. He wasn’t caught by that coyote, though. He was transported into glory and is now enjoying the blissfulness of basking in the presence of His Almighty Father for all eternity. We are soooo happy for him to finally be made whole.
Grace and I would love for you to come and celebrate Nate’s amazing life with us! A party (a.k.a Memorial Service) will be held at 11am on Tuesday at South Berwick Free Baptist Church. Visiting hours will be Monday from 2-4 and 6-8pm at Johnson Funeral Home–26 Market St., North Berwick, ME.
In lieu of flowers (which are fading), donations can be made to Seacoast Christian School (224 Main Street, South Berwick, ME 03908), which is where Nate and I met and fell in love 23 years ago and where lives are being changed (for eternity!)..
I’ve been debating what to say or not to say since I read your post on Facebook. After finding you all on the internet and talking to Nate on the phone a few years ago when we were in the US, our family has been following all that’s been happening from quite a distance… We’ve cried and prayed from across the ocean, and now the mixed tears of joy for him and sorrow for you and Grace continue. Our prayers will continue, as well. No matter how much one prepares, one is never truly prepared. May our Father, who is rich in mercy, comfort your hearts as only He can.
Nate was never asked to die FOR his faith, but he was challenged to live and suffer WITH faith- which he did so beautifully. And I would say the same about you, Jill. You have been an inspiration, by God’s grace. In your hurt, pain, relief, aching, questions…. may you cling to Him. Love, prayers and hugs from across the ocean…
Oh Nate, you have been on my mind and in our prayers. The good Lord needed you in Heaven to help him. Yes, you will be missed by many especially Jill, Grace and your family. God Speed Nathan. Till we meet again.
