Dear Bill and Family of Neal David Sword Sr.,
I'm sure I join with so many others who knew your Dad in offering my deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.
Unfortunately I never met your Dad but thankfully his special qualities are evident in you, especially his sense of humor. You also possess his loving kindness and surely his spirit will continue to bring joy into the lives of your loved ones.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.
In Sympathy,
Debbie and Bill FitzPatrick
