Vernon "Gene" Neeley

My baby,
I missed seeing you today on your birthday. Every time I saw a memorial to Laci Peterson, I thought of you and the meal we shared on your special day last year. You are so missed, but I know you are with us in spirit. I even went with Norma to your church to see where you sat and talked to "Norm." I'll never forget you. Every day I realize how much of who I am is shaped by you. Even as I prepare for what I know what you would think is a crazy voyage to New York to study at...

i'm gonna miss spending time with you grandpa. You tought me everything about being a man.I wish i could have been there more in those last days.Thanks for always being there for me and teaching me that a "job is'nt worth doing unless it's done right" i take with me all those talks we had and good times we had hunting and fishing and playing yatzee with grandma. Your always going to be with me; love; your grandson josh

I loved him so much that I don't know what to say. I will always remember the time I had with him: Christmas shopping, eating at Brooks Ranch, and him being my best Valentine's Day date. I will forever be changed by his words to me about life. All he asked of all of us was, "to be good people."

I miss the smile and wink that he gave me when I would tell him that he was my favorite Father-In-Law. He then would laugh because he knew that he was my only Father-In-Law!
I miss my Rock!
Love,
Darlene

I will never forget your smile and wink. I miss your voice, I still can remember it and I do not want to forget.

I will always miss being called "oleHH", he alway could make me smile whenever he called me that. I will always remember that.

Gene was my father-in-law. We spent many wonderful days hunting together. I'll always remember those days and the good times we shared.

You are forever missed and remembered! We can already feel your spiritual guidance in our daily lives... it's our best comfort.
Love Always,
Jennifer
