Until We Meet Again
We think about you always,
We talk about you still,
You have never been forgotten,
And you never will,
We hold you close within our hearts
And there you will remain,
To walk and guide us through our lives,
Until we meet again.

Shelley, Scott and Marilyn, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad and husband. I have so many memories of Neal during our high school years, but my favorite is when he made me take a test drive with him in the van bc Shelley didn’t have her license yet and we wanted to borrow it to go to a concert. So scary!!
I know Julie was there waiting for him with open arms and he is no longer suffering from Parkinson's. I will pray that you all are comforted by your wonderful memories and feel peace in your hearts knowing they are together again in heaven. Love you all. ~Missy

We knew Neal and his family for short time when we both were living in Richmond,Va. Our families were together in many activities. We shared a lot of good times together socially as well. Our sympathies to Marilyn and the family.
