Dad,
A lot of kids say that their Fathers were their heroes when they were kids. You are still my hero to this day. Getting by with you gone is unbearable. I am so happy to have been there by your side when you needed me. You have been there for me every time I have ever needed you.
I will love you forever. You will never ever be forgotten.
With all my heart,
Courtney

Mrs. Hexum,
I am so sorry for the loss of Neil. My parents, Bob and Judy Johnson, loved spending time with you and the laughs you all shared. The Lodge was a special place for Dad and Neil helped make it so. My thought and prayers are with you during this time and in the months to come.

Dear Hexum Family,

Gelyn and I share your sorrow, and we are praying for your comfort. Neil and I first met about 45 years ago when he threw a rock at me and I punched him. We became close friends and had so many adventures. I will miss him and look forward to seeing him again someday.

Denise and family

To say I was shocked when I received the call about Neil is an understatement. 52 is way too young. You can take pride in the fact that Neil was highly respected by his friends and the industries he worked for. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

I worked with Neil for several years at Cybernet. He was a good and honest man, and very talented at what he did. I wish the Hexum family solace in this difficult time. Take comfort in the way Neil lived and that he was respected by those around him. Neil - you went far too soon. Godspeed.

Neil and my father, Bob Johnson, were both Masons in Newport. My heart aches for all of you as I know all too well the pain you are going through. It lightens my heart to know that my dad and Neil will now continue their friendship in heaven. May you find peace soon and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days.
