Miss Millie,
It was such a lovely service. A perfect combination of Mr. Neuman's faith, friends, family, service to the nation and body of Christ and the lovely humor, ending on the perfect note of "Till we meet again" You are daily in our prayers and we trust the Lord will sustain you in the days ahead. Please let us know if you need anything.

Millie,
Some of my earliest memories are of Newman and my father sitting around the furnace grate at our house discussing the bible. They did not always agree on the meaning of each passage but they respected each others views. They had both come home from the war and found Christ around the same time so they were eager to share how they felt with everyone. Newman was the last of that generation in my family so that elevates Tonie and me along with our cousins to the oldest in the family. I only hope that we are able to live out our remaining days with the same grace and determination that Newman exhibited.
