To the family of our beloved servant brother Neal
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, reven as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so quthem also which sleep in Jesus wwill God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that ywe which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and fthe dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then gwe which are alive and remain shall be hcaught up together with them iin the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
The family is in our prayers during this time. May God's word comfort the family.

I have to give Mr Neal my sincere appreciation and gratitude for how he treated my daughter Candice and grandchild Dessiah so well during his life. He accepted both of them as part of his family, financially and in love. He made my life a little easier, was a character and had very good taste in choosing gifts for Dessiah. His chuckle cutting up with his great grandchild during visits will always stay with me Thank you from my heart to a life well lived!!

My condolences to the family of Mr. Neal. May GOD be with you today and always.
