Not sure what to say?

Happy 97 birthday Neal. Your first birthday without me in over 22 years. I miss you as much today as I did the day you went to God. A part of me died that day. See you soon in heaven. Love you and miss you

Neal, Merry Christmas in Heaven. You are home with the lord celebrating. I am here missing you so much. I am filled with grief and tears. The loneliness is deafening. I pray to God and thank him over and over again for the blessings I had and have. I was blocked from seeing them. I was blessed for having you as my best friend. You taught me to care and love. The time goes by to fast. I wish I could do it all over again. I loved you very much. I will see you again one day and look forward to...

Neal, I am still so devastated that our time went so fast. I miss you every moment. I cry all the time. I dont know how to say goodbye. I have sold our condo and will be moving back to my home in Middleboro in February. I cant wait to drive to Keziahs Lane and see your beautiful home you had there. The memories are abundant. My life has taken a 360. From my small home to many great homes with you and now back to my small home. Forever broken hearted. I miss your love. Truly the best friend I...

May you be in glory with God and other loved ones. I pray to be with God,you and other loved ones soon. I miss you so much

Our last photo on your birthday

Neal, missing you so much today. I know you are in glory and healthy and with God and loved ones. I sit here in our home with a broken heart and crying today. I cant wait to see you again . You were my strength and my rock. I knew to always count on you. Your unconditional love was so strong. I cry while I write this. See you soon

Every single time I came over to the house it was "Hello there!"
"Help yourself to anything you want!" Neal was always very kind to me even when he was having a tough day. There are so many memories of Neal i have that won't be forgotten. Neal you certainly left a deep mark. I told you I would see you tomorrow while you were resting. I plan on living up to that. I miss your company my friend.

Bill, sometimes we aren't meant to be with our loved ones when they pass; our absence frees them to go. This happened in October with a dear friend I took care of for 3 years, and I keep reminding myself that he needed that "permission" to go. My thoughts are with you; we met briefly at the Orleans transfer station many years ago; Nate was with you then.

I mourn and grieve losing you. I regret I wasnt with you when you passed
