My deepest condolences, I know words cannot help at this time but every memory I have of O’Neal is a good one and he will be sorely missed by all that knew him. I always looked up to O’Neal and respected him; my heart goes out to the rest of the family.

Granddaddy, You meant so much to me, and we will always have the great memories. Edisto,Blowing Rock, Tweetsy Railroad,Asteroids tournaments on the Atari, going to Santee,camping, the scary ghost stories and most of all the Gamecock football games. You and my dad are the reason I love Gamecock football so much. I will miss those times the most. I hope that I can be half the fan as you are. I just want to say Thank You for being in my life. I miss you dearly, and I love you.

My dearest brother, I will never forget the good times we had, I know you are with mama, daddy, and Sam. You and Sam are probably opening another Sloan's Hamburger Place in heaven......I know "The Gamecocks" are gonna miss your loyalty.I will remember everything we all did as a family, Redmond's Pond, having to wait after we ate a hot dog so we wouldn't drown, Lake Murray, me trying to ski, that was a joke huh Neil? I know you are in a much better place than any of us here. You will forever be my "Bubba" and in my thoughts every day of my life. We will be together again one day, all my love, your little sister, Anne
