Neal sometimes you are lucky enough to"find" a brother ... when your dad married my mom when I was a little girl I looked up to you...I always thought you were so strong and brave...I always admired your relationship with Brenda....I know that everyone will miss you but I am SO glad that you are free from all of the bonds that held you! LOVE YOU!
