Uncle Neal,
You were a great uncle. You and Aunr Louise welcomed me into your home with open arms when I moved to KY and then when I returned yearly for my month long visits. You made a great impression in my life.
I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever. I love you and will miss you so much. You left a great legacy and will not be forgotten. Now it is your time, Uncle Neal to R.I.P. for you deserve it.
