Prayers For Our Classmate Natanya Nelson-Blakely & Family On the Loss of Their Dad/Father !!!!!!!!!! Hello APACHE Classmates' and Alumni, I received a phone call today from our Classmate & Our Sister Natanya that her Dad/Father Mr. Nathaniel Nelson had passed away this morning. Many of you may have remembered Mr. Nelson from his coaching of Pop Warner Football back-in-the-day in the neighborhood. Mr. Nelson was a Veteran and was 82 years old. Today he lost his six-month battle with 3 health illnesses ( kidney problems, COPD, and lymphoma).
Most of you may know or are familiar with the Nelson family, Natanya Nelson-Blakely c/o '75, and her brothers who are a few years younger than we are: Darrin Nelson, and Kevin Nelson. Darrin and Kevin both went to Willowbrook Jr. High School but they attended different High Schools that focused on sports. They both played football and were star players in College and they continued in sports & both were blessed to play Professional Football.
My prayers and condolences go out to the Nelson-Blakely Family. May God bless and comfort your family during this very difficult time.
Natanya, You have me and my family's deepest sympathies and condolences. We love you. I was so very sorry to hear that your Dad passed away today. I know how hard his illness has been on you, Darrin and Kevin. I know that you all have been exhausted with all of the running around and going back & forth from the hospital & to your Dad's home that you all have been doing. We know that your Dad's passing is extra hard because it was not too long ago that you loss your Mom/Mother Mrs. Margaret Nelson which was just a few years ago. Tanya, please remember that God has you; so just cast all of your cares on Him. Do not despair Sis' because He will get you through this. God has you right in the palm of His hands. Remember that me and my family & your Class family are always right here for you.
PRAYER
Father God we come to you collectively lifting up in prayer our Classmate, Sister & Friend Natanya. Lord we ask that you would strengthen, comfort, carry, have mercy, and guide this family through their grief. Lord we pray that they would continue to keep their hope in you. Lord, we ask that You would guide their steps as they try to put one foot in front of the other to keep moving forward without their Dad/Father. Natanya, I hope that it comforts you to know that your grief is shared by all of us your Classmates, Friends and also those who knew your Dad/Father. We ask this prayer in the sweet and Precious Name of Jesus. Amen
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 NLT
Classmates and Alumni: Please keep the Nelson-Blakely family in your prayers. Thanks!!
Love and Blessings, Phoebe
