Not sure what to say?

To the Nelson Family,

I'm so sorry, I wasn't aware of the passing of Principal Nelson. Words can't even describe the pain for the loss of such a wonderful & genuine person. There's not one person I could imagine that wasn't blessed to have met or known him. He will always have a special place in the hearts of his students. It takes a special person like Principal Nelson to be an effective teacher, mentor and friend. My condolences to you all.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Nelson family , it's amazing how many lives can be touched in a few short years.
Please read 2 Cor 1:4 and may God continue to give you comfort.

With a heavy heart on hearing of the tragic loss our of your loved one. Time and unexpected events overtake us all as written in Ecclesiastes 9:11. Please take comfort in knowing that our loving Creator shares in your sorrow .

We send our deepest condolences to Derricks' family and those who knew him. It's very sad to hear the way he passed but his act of kindness will not be forgotten. May you look to God for comfort. 2 Cor. 1:3.

Mr. Derrick is a REAL hero. This man had the compassion to put his life in danger for someone else. Sadly, it cost him his life. I feel so sorry for his family, but no one can take away the fact that Mr. Derrick was a very rare, exceptional person. All of us can learn from his selflessness. My God bless him and his family.
