Words can not express my sorrow for your loss. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers.
It’s hard to know what to say, except that I’m thinking of you in friendship and in sympathy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Susan
Neil will be greatly missed by everyone at Southern Tires. He was a pleasure to work with and always a joy to talk to.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Jane..We just got news of Neil’s passing. I am stunned. Rick.and I have fond memories of poker nights.
Neil was a special guy. He was always kind to me and the nazi yard man. I don’t remember Neil speaking poorly of anyone. He kept his thoughts to himself or shared them with you alone. A rare quality in these times
Too many fine people are gone. Neil.was one if them. Our thoughts with you and Julea.
