What a beautiful thing to do for Nate's family. May it give them all some comfort to know that he was loved by many here at the SKMB. To bastardize a saying from the 70's: 'Ride on, Nate! RIDE ON!!!!!' 
Nate's Mom, sister and girlfriend have sent through messages of thanks...
"I got the beautiful book that you had all made of the messages posted by Nate's SKMB friends. Thank you so much, my daughters and I are so grateful to have these messages from Nate's friends."
"Everyone got the books from the message board folks yesterday. That was so, so thoughtful and it really means so much
We're all so grateful. He was such a special person, to have so many who cared about him."
"Thank you all so much for the book--I'd like to thank the folks that put that together..."

Thank you again for sharing these with us, Flake!
Absolutely my pleasure to... I really do believe that the books/thoughts have helped to soothe very sad hearts.Thank you again for sharing these with us, Flake!
This really means a lot.
His family now has a better understanding of how he was loved by so many I think.
That looks really nice.Big thanks to all involved in putting that together.not_nadine...Since you were the one who asked, I quoted you just to make sure you got to see these.
I assume since all of you were involved in the messages, there is no issue with me sharing the pictures I took before I sent the books. I suppose if there is an issue, the pics can be deleted.

May the feel some degree of comfort in these keepsakes.
The books turned out so beautiful! Made me cry all over again. Thank you to everyone who was involved in getting them put together and made and sent!
Thanks to everyone involved with the book. It is beautiful.
You guys did a wonderful job with those books. Just beautiful. Thank you.
The book is beautiful. Y'all did really good. Thanks for all the thoughts and tears and work you put into it.
I'm wiping away tears now, too. Really, really nice job with that and thank you to all of those who made this happen.
...Deb and Lin are the architects of that blessed project....Spidey was her gentle and wise self with suggestions-and as I said elsewhere, I sat and looked pretty...they poured their hearts into the project, and I think Nate's family feels that-and hopefully it will take a bit of the edge off their hurt....again, I say-the folks on this Board have the biggest hearts and souls of any group I've ever met....Deb and Lin are angels.....
I've been speaking with Nate's sister and anyone feeling like they'd like to attend Nate's celebration of life are more than welcome to do so. People can arrive any time after 1:00pm and the pig roast will be ready around 4:00pm.
If you attend please take along a chair and there will be plenty of room for tents should you be traveling and like to stay. (they're also encouraging folks to stay if they're intending to be drinking--BYOB please)
Saturday 24th September 1:00pm (VT time)
Please PM me for an address if you do decide to go.

...please pass along my love most of all, but also my thanks...I am cash poor in the extreme right now due to family issues...but my spirit will most certainly be with them...
Thank you, Flake for the update and information. Travel would be a might far for me, but my spirit will be with the family.
Thank-you for keeping us up on all this. My thoughts will be with the family.
