Rest in peace dear friend. What an honor to have known this precious man and his wife Bernice.My sympathy goes to his family. He will be greatly missed.
Sorry for your loss.
Heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Nolen. He held such a special place in my heart. I've never met a man so devoted to his wife. I enjoyed on more than one occasion him sharing the story of how they met, his service overseas, and his love of life on the farm. I will cherish the memories I have of him.
To the Family, our deepest condolences, Mr. Nolen was a wonderful neighbor to us and a mountain of information regarding any of our cattle issues. He was a loving man to our children and grand children. He will be missed by many.
Praying for peace and comfort for your family.
