Dear Thompson Family,
Neil was truly a dear man, Always saying kind things and sometime funny things. I liked hearing him laugh when he see's something stupid on tv. He will be missed so much, but I know we'll all be together someday again in heaven. May the Lord be your strength and light.

I'm so sorry to hear about Neil. I spent a huge part of my teenage life hanging out at your house, or Kris at my house and I cherish those memories. Just like my dad, I used to call Neil dad too. Just as my wonderful memories of those days fill my mind, God's strength will comfort you. Kris, if there is anything you need ......
