Well dad it's your birthday and I can't call you to say Happy Birthday old man. I miss you so much. I'm pole climbing this week with AT&T, If I remember correctly you had to do the same while you were in the Air Force. Guess the nut does not fall far from the tree. At any rate, I love and miss you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Love Curt

Neil,
I remember the first time Velinda asked me to meet you & Ella. My family is not close so I was scared & nervous, but you both welcomed me & made me feel like part of your family & I was so thankful. I remember every time we would be together you always offering me a cup of coffee & me saying no thanks I don't drink coffee. I will miss that along with the firm handshakes you always gave me. But most of all I'll remember how you made me feel welcome in your family.
Rest In Peace.

Hi daddy, " This is me, is this you"
My heart is breaking knowing I will never hear you say this again.
I don't know how to thank you for the closeness I felt with you. I feel I am the person I am because of you.
Remember making me learn stick shift on Harmon Hill, and making me change the tires and oil on my car. You always made sure we knew how to stand on our own and make our own way.
I am so very grateful to have been close to you. My whole life all I wanted was for you to be proud of me, it helped guide so many of the decisions I have made in my life.
I just hope you know how proud I am of you. You fought so hard and only let go when your family was there and you knew mom would be taken care of.
Thank you for patting my hand in the hospital, I know it must have been hard for you, but I will cherish it always.
I wish I could have one more of your amazing hugs and sloppy kiss on the cheek.
Daddy I will always live by your example. I love you so much. Please keep an eye on us. I look forward to the day we will all be together again.

Dad,
I thank you for the many life lessons learned through out our times spent together. From that first father talk you had with me when I first started dating your daughter, to that last talk we had in the hospital you always expressed your love for your family which you always made sure to tell me that I was always part of. I will miss your smiling face, your hugs and your silly jokes. Since you have left I have felt you speak to me, I will always be here to listen. Love ya!

Neil,
What can I possibly say that your family hasn't already said. I enjoyed so much the BIG,TIGHT hugs I received from you every Mon, Wed and Fri that we came to take care of Ella. I always felt such a part of you and can still invision and fell those hugs that I will no longer receive. I feel that not only did we loose you, but that I also lost a part of Ella, now that I won't get to see her all the time.
I know you will keep a close watch over Ella and the rest of your family, and that everyday somehow we will all feel your presence.
May you rest now in the hands of our Lord, and find comfort knowing that Ella is taken care of and much Loved by all.
Rest in peace Neil, you deserve it.
You are missed!

Dad,
You symbolized love and devotion. All you wanted was to provide for mom and family. You never wanted much and were more concerned about the happiness of others more than for yourself. This is why you were and will always be so loved. There are many things I wish I would have said while you were here but have since said knowing you can hear me in a happier place. I miss and love you always.

Rest in Peace Neil. We will miss you and will always have special memories of our get togethers with our shared family.
Love,
Sherri and John Hogue

Grandpa,
You will never know how much I really loved you I have memories with you that no one can ever take away.
You were one of the most important men in my life and you will remain that way.
It hurts so bad to know that I can never wrap my arms around you and give you a big hug again.
I will never forget your hugs and kisses.
Tristan loved you so much he walks around the house saying papa looking for you I told him you were with god now and I show him your pictures all the time and he kisses them.
You will be missed by so many!
Gone but never forgotten.
I love you grandpa rest in peace your in the best hands possible.
