Dear Kim, Neil, Ryan & Tyler,
We care deeply about you all as good friends. I still see Neil Jr. smiling @ the Essex baseball field with the late summer sun behind him talking to Rachel and I about his brothers. That image is so clear in my mind. He was a sweet and kind young man any parent would be proud of....know his love is always in your hearts as yours in his. Love transcends everything even death, Neils spirit is always going to be close. And his life always so special and never...

Neil was the most caring loving person that i have ever met. i met neil through my older brother Cody sanders. Neil was the kind of guy that would do any thing in the world for you. I am proud to have considered you a true friend. i love ya brother.

I hope you feel comfort from the beautiful stories I have heard about your son and of all the wonderful things he accomplished to make you proud.
My prayers are with you.

To The Rivers Family,
