My deepest, heart felt condolences to the entire Greene family. ~ Christy Bland @-}---}-------

For all of my 58 years as Pastor of the Beulah Baptist Church and, even thereafter, Nelson E. Greene, Jr. - my friend - was one of God's chosen gifts to us and the entire City of Alexandria community. His commitment, his loyalty and love for people, was a reflection of the gifts entrusted in him to daily serve the people that God so loved. And, how well were his works. His work is done now. Rest now thou great and faithful servant. Our prayers continue for the family and the many friends during this time of bereavement. Pastor Emeritus and Mrs. Columbus Watson

May Mr. Green and daughter Nina Rest in Peace from their labors and receive their rewards in heaven with Jesus. They will be deeply missed. To the Family stay strong in the Lord.

My heart was saddened to learn of Bro. Nelson's transition from earth to heaven. We shared many years of Fraternal and Professional Comradire, and my life has certainly been enriched because our lives intersected while sharing our beloved Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and pursuing our chosen profession as Funeral Service Practitioners. I pray for his family's comfort in knowing that God is still in control and he will sustain you during the difficult days that lie ahead. God bless and keep you. REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND AND BROTHER. Joseph B. Cutchins, Jr.-Franklinton, NC

Served with Lt. Greene in South Korea in 1966. One of a very few units in the Army with all black officers. He was a true gentleman, leader and friend. Even in the midst of turmoil and turbulence, he was always "cool". Percy McKinney, East St. Louis, IL

I met Lt. Greene in South Korea in 1966. It was very significant that our company had a black Executive Officer, a black Commander and a black clerk. We got each other through. He was a true gentleman, leader and friend. Percy McKinney, East St. Louis, Il.
