Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I've read about you, mr sheriff Nelson this last week. I also thank you for your service and am sorry to read about your ultimate sacrifice. I believe you must have been an incredibly respected man and loved by many according to over 3000 to 3500 people to attend your funeral service. Your legacy is real and lives on to this day.
