Where do we begin to let the family know what a special person Uncle Neal was to us? He was like a dad to Gary, and he will be so greatly missed by him! Uncle Neal will always be remembered by our family and we will be here to offer our love and comfort to each of you. The Lord works in mysterious ways that we will never understand, but we have to trust in him. The pain will ease, but Uncle Neals memories will live on forever! We love each and everyone one of you!
My prayers are with the family.
Still, after all this time, Mr. O'Neal is still thought of by us quite often. Todd and I still remember the fun stories he would tell us, and always will remember the love he showed to each of us in 1998 when we moved across from him. He truly was a sweet, loving, funny & sincere man. We still miss him! Our love to all of you!
