WoW, my heart is sad. While I hadn't seen Neecie in years, I'll always remember her as one of my childhood friends as we grow up in Liberty Park, next door neighbors. It saddened me when her mom, dad and brothers passed and now God has called her home too. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. RIP old friend.
