Hang on to each other and tell them everyday you love them!
I love you all and your best friend is going to be TIME. The pain is so deep it cannot be expressed in words alone. I love all of you and may God be with you every step of the way. Amen!!!

Wes, what can I say brother? Neil was born about a month before my son Aaron. I remember the first time you brought him with you for a visit and he would playfully growl at me. Can't imagine what you are going through now but Aaron, Robin and I wish you the best going forward.

Dear Wes,
I wanted to acknowledge your loss, Neil looked like a bright light of love!
Our families were so entwined in my early years and that love feels very much like a second family- Hoons and Limoli Girls.
Love,
Erin (Limoli) Stevens

I knew Neil for a brief moment in his life. This news is heart shattering to hear. He was an incredibly kind and gentle soul, who had a wonderful smile and that showed through his love of laughter. Having lost my nephew to a drug related death last December 4th, I can only peripherally express my sadness for Neil’s family- it is a hole that cannot be filled, but rather slightly eased through loved ones’ support, honoring memory in various special ways, and connecting with those who knew him. My deepest condolences.
