Dear Aunt Cherry, Although we didn't get to visit much throughout my childhood, I remember the "Uncle Neil" visits well. I would sit capitivated by his stories. I would imagine he and Mom [Rhoda Mae] and Aunt Yvonne are having quite the chat right now!

Dear Cherry, We were so sad to hear of Neil's passing. Quite often I quote him..."Church should be fun. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right." We will always remember the water balloon activities and his wild, loud shorts!! We miss you. You are in our prayers.
Love, Julie & David
