"Amber, Autumn, Jason and Kelly still do a capella harmony, and your daddy has to be smiling on you carrying on this beautiful tradition. - Bill Gaither introducing The Nelons

"I want to thank all of the people who have been with us. Not just the singers. It really takes all of us together. I want to let them know that whatever they did was important to the Lord." - The Nelons
