Our sincerest condolences to the Nurse family. We had the privilege of getting to know your dear Poppy in the Moreland congregation. His love for Jehovah and family was evident. -The Foster and Thomas Family

To my pop, I will miss you, I don't remember my father, but you've been in my life your the father I try to be,with your wisdom, big heart, and kindness thanks for that,a lesson in my life. Love you poppy Rip!your son keith.

I didn't have the pleasure of being in Poppy's presence on many occasions but when I was he treated me with great warmth and kindness. Thank you Poppy. May all the instruments in heaven play in your honor. Rest In Peace...Angelique AAPayneđź’—

I am deeply sorry for your loss and your family's loss, Mrs. Nurse. The Moreland Congregation truly misses our quiet, gentle brother and friend. And so does our God, Jehovah. Like us, he misses his friends, too, when they die. According to Job 14:14,15, Jehovah yearns to see Brother Nurse again, and can't wait to restore him to life on a beautiful paradise earth where they can continue their friendship. What beautiful family reunions we can look forward to when Jehovah resurrects our friends, HIS friends, of whom our dear Orville Nurse was certainly one.

Brother Nurse Would always smile when he talked about his Jazz Music lol I'll always remember his raspy voice and beautiful smile. He loved his wife and I pray she is comforted by Jehovahs Holy Spirit 💕🙏

My deepest sympathy to the family from the Rolons

I could never express how much you mean to me.You have always been there for me you truly an angel.

To my brother I will miss you and your memories of our family and the things you been through, your knowledge of jazz love. Rest in peace your youngest sister Janice Williams

To our dear Brother Nurse's family We will truly miss him, his smile, his friendly nature, and his love for people and his God Jehovah. May Jehovah continue to comfort you and give you the strength you need in this time of this bereavement. Thanks for sharing your husband, father, grandfather and friend with us. Looking forward to the paradise to hear him play all of his music, hear his laughter, and see his smile again. 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.

To the family of our dear Brother Nurse, My Jehovah's spirit and blessing continue to comfort each of you with His peace. We will surely miss Brother Nurse. His calm spirit and warm heart will never be forgotten.

I offer my condolences and encouraging words: Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: He will call; The dead will answer. They will live at his command. For he will have a longing, For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, As the work of his own hand. Job: 14:14-15

Remembering his many stories as a Jazz man playing with all of the greats. Your life provided an indelible impression on all who had the pleasure to know you. Here is a poem by Victor Enns in your memory. Jarrod K. Grant

Night Train

The house is full and us in it. We make room for each other.

No illusions we know time is to touch each other.

We hear the jazz taking on the night train, rocking the moon.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
