Condolence From: Nina Keeley
Condolence: I am thinking of all of you. Even though we didn't talk too often, I still knew Juanita was there. I have missed knowing that this past year. She was just one of the best friends I ever had. Those 3 1/2 years we spent in CT and with them and the church there had a great impact on our lives. We loved Don and Juanita, and their kids. I have no doubt you all miss them dearly.

Condolence: Dear Nelson Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Juanita. We will never get used to losing our loved ones in death because as Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, we were created with everlasting life in view. But may you find comfort in knowing that Almighty God has promised that soon he will swallow up death forever along with the pain that it brings. (Isaiah 25:8) God has also promised that he will return Juanita to you as it says at John 5:28,29 and also Psalms 37:29. You can also learn more about what happens when a loved one dies at JW.org.
Sincerely,
Susan

Condolence: Annie, Eric and all of your family: Your mother was a wonderful friend full of love, inspiration and guidance. Between she and Don, Audrey and I felt we were truly family. Always ready to help, they cared for us in times of need and times of stress with never a thought of personal inconvenience and always with love and encouragement. I treasure our phone calls and talks. She had such pride in all of ya'll and kept us up to date on your lives. We were truly blessed.

Condolence: Annie and Eric, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you must already miss your Mom. Juanita was so special. She made such an impression on me when I was little, she always had a smile for me and such a happy and gently way about her. Our families spent many Friday nights together playing pinochle. I cherish those times. I always loved any chance to go and see your family. I will always cherish the memories I carry of your mom and dad and how much they touched my life, I love them so much. I cannot wait to see them again one day in Heaven.

Condolence: Juanita completely fulfills our vision of a loving woman and friend. The Nelson family contributed to the rich life and abundance of God's blessings everywhere but particularly Tolland Ct. We are thankful that our family had the chance to know Juanita & Donald for many years. We look forward to being reunited in heaven.
God Bless,
Toimi & Candie Martikainen

Condolence: Dear Eric, Annie and Family,
My heart aches with yours over the loss of your Mother. Juanita always had a kind word for me, a neat chat that always ended in a story with a hilarious ending. Her super power was her quick wit and gift of story telling.
I loved her talent for music, skits and painting. I loved painting with her and thankful she had the opportunity to teach Jordan too.
Knowing where she is a great comfort but her absence in my life is a great loss.
So, I grieve for now. The memories will rush in to comfort - I trust that.
With shared sorrow,
Your Friend

Condolence: It was 56 years ago we first met the Nelson family. While we were only in the area for 3 1/2 years, the friendship we had was precious and remained through all the years. They were so good to us. On the 3 occasions we had to visit with Don and Juanita over the years, it was like nothing had changed. We loved them and cherished that friendship. I will miss just knowing Juanita is there. I will miss her pictures of snow and wild turkeys on facebook also. She loved her family and was so proud of her children and grandchildren. I am praying for God's arms of comfort to be around all of you.

Condolence: Dear Eric and Annie, I have heard so many good things about you through Juanita she loved you and Greg's families abundantly. Do you think you Mom made me laugh on purpose? Or, did she just happen to be the lift I needed. Juanita is still here, she will always be in my heart. Juanita and Donald were put on this earth as evidence that perfect love is possible.
