Shirley and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. We will have each of you in our Prayers now and for the coming days. We Pray that God will give each of you His peace that passes all understanding now and forever. We know that Heaven became brighter when Johnny entered in.. We know that Jesus said "Well done and enter in. We know that Johnny was ready to meet his Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. One of these days when our time is up on this earth we can see him again. There is an old song that says it so well "Oh What A Day That Will Be When My Jesus I Shall See". We know that Johnny has been face to face with Jesus and is not suffering anymore, but walking streets of Gold. Shirley we are so sorry we will not be at the visitation as we are out of country. We will see you when we get back. May God bless and keep each of you in His care always.

He only takes the Best
God saw he was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around him
and whispered "Come to me".
with tearful eyes we watched him,
and saw him pass away.
altough we loved him dearly,
we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best
Mr. Neel was one of my favorite teacher I want forget him he will always have a place in my hear. May God comfort the family at this time . PSALMS 123.
