Joanna and family,
I'm not sure that you'll remember me, but I was Chuck and Lorena Neff's youngest daughter, Joyce. I recognized Fernal's name right away.
I am so sorry to read of not only his death, but also the loss of your son Jeff. I actually remember your boys being born.
Please know that I will be keeping you and your precious ones close in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
Joyce Neff Hough
