I first met Kade when his family moved into our ward in Sierra Vista, AZ. I was the primary chorister and he was in the boys Valiant 9/10/11 class. Our primary program was approaching so I would try to come up with games each Sunday to keep the kids interested in singing the songs for our program over and over again. One Sunday, just shortly after the Nelson’s had joined our ward, I thought of doing a game called “Would You Rather…?” When a child was called up they would choose a note that would read, “Would you rather…” and then they would be given the option to choose between the whole primary singing one of our program songs or they alone doing something that was embarrassing! The goal was for it to be too embarrassing so that the kids wouldn’t want to do it and would choose to sing a program song (but only after we all had a good laugh at hearing what their second option was). I had props and everything, it was going to be fun! Most kids, of course, chose to have the group sing the program song, and then Kade came up. You could tell he was ready to make people have a good laugh. He picked a paper from my bag and I read it to him. “Would you rather have the primary sing I Am a Child of God OR dress yourself up like a bride and sing I Love to See the Temple?” I thought, ‘there is NO WAY this big, tough boy is going to choose to put on a dress!’ BUT HE DID!!!! The room was hysterical as he pulled the white dress I had brought (which happened to be just the right size!) over his church clothes and held a bouquet of flowers. I felt guilty having him sing the song all by himself, after everything else I felt I was putting him through, so I sang I Love to See the Temple with him. Everyone was red with laughter and we all got to see right away what a fun boy he was. He made friends in the ward fast and was kind to everyone. In other interactions I had with him there were a couple of times I witnessed a look of sadness in his face when he saw someone being unkind to someone else. He didn’t understand how a person could treat others that way and it impressed me that he cared so much. He was just such a good boy. I will never forget him. I feel truly blessed to have known Kade and the rest of the Nelson family.My most sincere love and sympathy,Sally Talbot
