Neal's family, Neal was a gentleman staple at the dialysis center. In the beginning we did get to meet his wife who sat with him during treatments before her passing. The two of them told a tale without their words they were a wonderfully, happily married couple. Neal was a wonderful patient for us to sit and chat with, often about if he was going to Taco Bell for dinner! Thank you for sharing your sweet family member with us. Prayers sent!

Will miss a classmate and golf partner. Spent a number of afternoons on his back porch cooling down from a golf game. It always turned to a time of devotion and prayer. He beat us home.
