Bonnie, Eddy, Joy, Nancy and Vickie,
Even though I could not be there with you in your time of need and hold each one of you in my arms; know that I was holding you each in my heart and prayers. And I will continue to do so. Mary Ellen was a very special lady and I loved her too. The times I spent there with all of you (in my younger years) were always special to me. Mary Ellen always had a way of making everyone she touched and loved feel special and I have always cherished that and will continue to do so. Though through the years we have drifted apart; family is always family to me. It brings a smile to my face to think of your Dad, Mom and Daddy (Kenneth McNeil) up there together again watching down over us all! God bless you all and know that you are loved and remembered by your cousin.

We can't know why some things happen... but we can know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. And we can know that there is a place inside the heart where love lives always....and nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten. If I have learned anything down through the years, it is that nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost. Those we cherish will always live on in memory.
Love always,
Your Birthday Girl

Dear Mom,
I thank you for sowing the seeds of deep love into our family. I know all of us are hurting, each of us in our own way, but you more than anyone taught us how to be supportive of those in need. I am certain that Bonnie, Nancy, Eddy, Joy, and I will be forever united in our love for you and for each other. Though I may make mistakes along the way, I promise to do my best to keep the family ties strong, just as you would want them to be.
I am so thankful that you no longer carry the pain or worries of this earthly life. Your burdens have been lifted.
Love,
Vickie

Mom,
We love you and we miss you.
April, the cross made me smile. I know Grandma is smiling at you, too.
Thank you.

We are saddened by your loss. This scriptural thought at John 5:28,29 has given us great relief. We certainly hope it provides a measure of comfort to you as well. Do not underestimate the power of Prayer.

I am so glad that I had the chance to know and call Mary my friend. We always enjoyed just talking on the phone or wherever we might meet. She will be missed by a lot of people. If there is anything I can do for any of you please give me a call. 434-696-3610. Love Ginny Link
