Hello to you all, Carol called to tell me that Neil had passed away. He was a great cousin (as are all of you). I have fond memories of family reunions and visits next door with Neil, Kathy, Steve, Kimberly, Uncle Harvey, and Aunt Freeda. We are very blessed to be close cousins. I send my love to you all and pray for comfort in the coming days. Love always, Sheila
