Love and Support for Rob & Rose Nelson

For in Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

Those who know the Nelson family have seen how this verse exemplifies how they live life in each and every circumstance that comes their way.  On Friday, September 20th, Rob and Rose’s son, Ryan, was killed in an auto accident.

These are Rob’s words to us as he shared the news...

In the reality of the extreme grief, there is also true celebration in his “Home-going”. Ryan made a decision over 25 years ago to surrender his heart to Christ. He received a new heart that day. That is the God-size heart that we all knew and loved so dearly. He experienced much pain and suffering, challenges and struggles along the way, but that heart always came through. He so loved his family and friends and would share that love with anyone who would give him a chance. We find rest in knowing he is truly at peace and free from the pain and struggles. We thank God in Christ for His amazing Grace that loves us all as broken people, into hope and eternity. Ryan will be so greatly missed but that smile and heart of his will continue to remind us there is hope and of the opportunity we have to share that love with those around us.
We love you Ryan, more than words can express and are so thankful for the love and joy you so brought into our lives. Son, we will see you again soon!
Thank you to our wonderful family and friends for your prayers and comfort at this time. In His Great Love, Rob, Rosemary, and Family
“That’s why we live with such good cheer. You won’t see us drooping our heads or dragging our feet! Cramped conditions here don’t get us down. They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead. It’s what we trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going. Do you suppose a few ruts in the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us? When the time comes, we’ll be plenty ready to exchange exile for homecoming.”
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 MSG
Arrangements will be shared as determined.

As the Nelson family begins to regain footing on their Firm Foundation, the reality of all the costs associated with getting Ryan from Georgia to Spartanburg and all the many others they will incur in the days and weeks ahead are the reason they allowed this GoFundMe Page to be created.

As you know, Rob and Rose are folks who love well and withhold no good thing from anyone.  We thank you for your expressions of love to each of them at this time, whether through a donation or a prayer.  They are each and every one appreciated.

                                                                             So then, as we have opportunity,
                                                                                     let us do good to everyone,
                                                                                         and especially to those
                                                                             who are of the household of faith. 
                                                                                                   Galatians 6:10
