William E. "Bill" Neely

Mom,
It has been a year and I am so proud of your strength and courage. You have taken on things you have never had to do; you have done this with great determination and responsibility. I am so very proud of you.

Dad, We miss you so much, but know you are with us in spirit. I hope you have heard me talking to you. All of us kids are keeping close to Mom, but she is doing a great job anyway.

Mom and Dad,
As I look back quite often, I am overcome with gratitude of the...

Polly, I am sorry for the loss of your dad. It's hard to lose a parent. Cherish and enjoy the memories; I know there are many wonderful ones! I'm glad you were able to spend time with him and be there for your mom. Let's get together again soon.

Carolyn, BERTA JUST TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR LOSS I'M SO SORRY. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I ALSO LET ANN KNOW.

Carolyn, I just heard about your husband and I am so sorry. I did not know you folks owned Jose's. My uncle was Dan Donovan.. Please e-mail me when you can, and again I'm sorry for your loss. Will also miss seeing you around the streets of Carmichael! Berta the courier for the clinic

Dear Grandpa,

I miss you very much. You always had a joke or two to tell everyday. You were a very strong person and you always helped others before yourself. Its been hard for the past couple of weeks. Everyone misses you very much. At least now you'll be with everyone everywhere they go in everything they do.

Uncle Bill, You touched my heart, like you touched so many others. I want to thak-you for making me laugh, for trying to teach me a new joke, so that I could tell it to someone else, for showing me what courage is and what friedship really means, Even when it hurts. Thank-you Bill for saving my life. When no one else would, you steped up. I hold you close to my heart and that is where you will stay. To the Neely family, I pray that you will find peace in the momories and love you have...

Dear Grandpa,
I miss you. I miss your jokes. I miss going to the State Fair with you. I just miss you so much. Love, Rachel

Dear Grandpa,

I loved you very much and I'll always remeber you as a strong and loving peson. Everyone relided on you when times were hard and you didn't mind one bit. Its been very hard for everyone to let go of you. When I first heard you had cancer I really didn't know what to think. I crided and I couldn't get any sleep for a long time. In football i know keep your name on the back of my helmet so your with me every play on the feild.

Carolyn and Family, I never had the pleasure of meeting Bill but was fortunate enough to have Carolyn in my life since we met at the beauty shop. Carolyn, I am so sorry for your loss and I pray for you and your family and hope to hear from you again, sometime. Your friend, Karen Deering
