Sister McNeely, I'm so sorry for your loss. Bro. McNeely is with our Lord whom he loved and taught us so much about and he did it with love and humility, something that few others can do. I have so many fond memories of him and I know he is with mother and "his Georges" as he so fondly called Granny and PaPa. Time will ease the pain, but never erase our tears, but be asured we will see them all again one day. I love you..Thank you for all you have meant to me in my life. Vickie

Uncle Sonny,
You were our foundation. You taught us about God and built our foundation at a very young age. You lived what you taught, and you taught what you lived. I honor you. Love, Deb

Well, I can't believe it has come to this, where I have to tell you goodbye. That makes me very sad. But Im so proud that many has called with their condolences and shared how you have touched their lives. That itself tells how wonderful you were. I can still hear your voice singing the old rugged cross. :-( Forever in my heart! Im wearing my hair curly today just for you.
