Kay-

I am sorry for your loss. Neil was a remarkable man, with many great stories to tell. I remember being amazed by how varied his experiences were- from D-day in WW II to building your home in Connecticut to catering in Myrtle Beach. What a full life! I wish I could be there to give you a hug today.

With love,
Beth & Renny
Nina and Caroline
