I am so saddened by the loss of Neal but feel privileged that he was part of my world. I will always remember Neal for his kindness, his sense of humor, his hospitality and his generosity. Above all, I will remember Neal as my brother in Christ. May he enjoy the treasures of heaven for eternity! I will be praying for Shirley, his family and all who are feeling his loss in the days and weeks ahead. God Bless you all!

Our deepest condolences go to Shirley, Neal’s family and all who called him a friend. We’ve known Neal for the last six years through our dearest friend and his constant companion, Shirley. He has lived a richer and more happy life because of their love and devotion. May he rest in the loving arms of Almighty God.
