I couldnt bring myself to write anything, until now. How I wish I'd taken you party animals up on all the wonderful invitations you extended to me, once you returned home. How I thank Neil for his enthusiasm in giving the shirt off of his back so that I could have a date (inside joke), and for being such a wonderful husband and friend to my gal. My hope is that your love will inspire others to love as much, although I think it's hardly possible. Karen, you have an angel watching over you. This is nothing new - except he's watching from above now, instead of beside you.

Mr. Neil and Ms. Betty,
Please accept our deepest sympathies.

November 17, 2012
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Karen, I was shocked when I read Lyd's post on FB. We are so sorry for your loss. I wish we were there to give you a hug and be with you'll to comfort you in person but know we are praying for you and your family, too. There are no easy words to say that take away the sorry but I pray God will carry you and yours through this very difficult time of grieving. The hard part is for those left behind.
God bless you and keep you.
Love you.

To the Bordelon family sorry for your loss and keep God first and everything will be alright. I went to school with Neil at WJeff. Neil had a heart full of love and fun. God Bless you Neil (Bo-day)!!
November 16, 2012
With sincerest sympathy, I'd like to offer my heartfelt condolences to Karen and all of Neil's relatives and loved ones. Was only lucky enough to have known Neil for a short period of time as one of his co-workers. He will be greatly missed as a friend. Neil was such an easy-going and happy guy. Such a pleasure to be around and work with. He'd always comment on how close and happy he was with his family. He surely will be missed and remembered fondly by all.

Bets, there are no words to comfort you. Just know that you and Neil and your family are in my heart and I am so very sad. One of my fondest memories of "little Neil" is him racing down Timbalier Drive on his crutches. He was always so cheerful and easy going and such a pride and joy.
