My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Poole Family. I have known the Poole Family my entire life, and I can proudly say that I am thankful for all of the time that we have spent together; especially now with Nate. He was a terrific, fun-loving person...whom we will all miss. We just need to thank God for the time that we have had with Nate and remember to keep memories of him close to us.

Love, Danielle Patrice Murrell
