[CRenze]

Chris,
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family for the loss of you beatuiful little angel, Nate. I can't thank you enough for sharing him with us and for the blessings that you have given many of us here on the boards. I have never in my life met anyone with such a will as yours. Your love for Nate, your family and God have been an inspiration to many. May God be with you and your family and may He bless you all as you go through this difficult time in your lives.
You, Nate and your family will always hold a special place in my heart.

Cindy

Dear Chris and the Entire Page Family,

I think it is entirely appropriate this is the first post I will have made since I returned from our cruise that took place while Nate passed on to a much better place.

I cannot express how I felt when I got the message while on the Magic that Nate was gone. (Thanks Andy. That was too kind).

Many of you know that I was already taking a picture of Nate to go parasailing with me on Castaway Cay.

Althought the photos may only show one person in the sky, there were two. He was with me up there, and I can only think he was smiling as we swept so high I felt we would touch the sky.

I will never forget Chris's words about how comfortable Nate was on Castaway Cay.

I made a decision, and broke a rule. It says to "Take only photos but leave only memories".

When I got back to the Ship, I got cleaned up (some things you need to be presentable for) went back down the gangway where I ran into DawnK.

She accompanied me on my task. Thanks Dawn.

I hope you don't mind, but we buried Nate's picture on Castaway Cay. His spot right past the post office, so he can see the ship pull in.

He is there forever. I think it is so fitting.

In Closing:

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that went away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

Yours,

Jim

Well Done Jim. My familys' prayers have always been for Nate and we will pray near the site of his picture in just a few more days. Continued prayers and healing to the Page family.

Jim, the perfect tribute...as usual.

Once again, you have done for all the rest of us what we could not do. Thanks for standing in the stead for Nate as you flew, and for the rest of us as you left a part of Nate at CC.

Jim,
You and Andy both amaze me at doing the right thing at the right time. Once again I must say this place is full of wonderful people. Thank you for sharing with us all the tribute to Nate.

Now I am crying all over again - Nate has a home on Castaway Cay - that is the picture I will always carry in my heart of Nate - the one of him on the lounge chair smiling.

Thanks Jim, for making special place for Nate.

Jim,
That was truely a wonderful gesture you did to honor Nate. I know that I will stop and say a little prayer as I walk past the post office next year.

Jim, what you did was a Magical idea! That jesture was so nice and befitting to such a young man and his family. While this was your idea, I'm honored to know what you did. Wouldn't it be nice if Disney quitely changed the name from Cookies BBQ to Nates BBQ! I know we would all feel very special to be there.

It is truly amazing how one (1) small family in Texas has made a huge difference to so many of us. We were touched by the special way Disney treated the Page family, we were touched by the special way in which Chris wrote to us and we were touched deeply by Nate's passing. I still can't get over it but I'm letting this be a lesson for me. Life is too precious to ignore those little signs we are given. Nate was that sign!

Gotta go.. I'm getting misty eyed again.

Jim, THANKS!

Thank you Jim. I will remember that as we close out 2003 and look towards the future.

What a wonderful tribute to an Angel.
Thanks

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

It can't be any clearer - Nate continues to live on in each of our hearts. Thank you Jim!

I haven't been on the boards much due to the holidays so I just read about Nate and have cried through the whole thing. I just don't know what else to say that everyone hasn't already said except that I am very sorry for your loss. We will all miss Nate even though many of us never met him.

Jim - I agree with everyone else that this was a very nice thing to do and very appropriate.

I think my heart just lost a piece

Thank you Jim and Dawn K for carrying out physically what we have all done in our hearts.

Page family: your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
