In loving memory of our beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew and friend, David Oliver Nelson, who was born in Omaha, Nebraska on January 06, 1979 and passed away on April 12, 2007 at the age of 28. We will always cherish our memories of him.  He will continue to live in our hearts forever!  God bless you, David.

Memorial Mass for David's 1st anniversay of rebirth into the fullness of life with our loving God:
April 12th - 5:00 pm - Assumption Church

David left behind lots of things, but one thing that stands out above all else is his beautiful SMILE. No matter what he was feeling he would always find a smile.  I miss that smile, more now than ever!

I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine, God said.
For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.

It may be six or seven years
or forty-two or three.
But, will you, 'til I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As a solace for your grief.

I can not promise he will stay
Since all from Earth returns,
But there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
In my search for teacher's true.
And from the things that crowd life's lane
I have chose you.

Now will you give him all your love?
Nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
This lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say
Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys thy child will bring
The risk of grief we'll run.

We will shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may.
And for all the happiness we have known
Forever grateful stay.

But should thy angel call for him,
Much sooner than we planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.
