  1. Jackie....I had no idea. It's never easy to say good-bye to a loved family member.
    With sympathy,

  2. That was so sweet. It's strange to see those pictures of us with him just a few weeks ago, it's hard to realize he's gone. And wow, born in 1913? What an incredibly long life he lived! He shall be missed.

  3. Sad. Good-bye Grandpa Neil. Travis said something about going to Jill's great-grandpa's funeral but it didn't register until I saw this. He lived a long happy life surrounded by loving family.

  5. I'm so sorry for the loss of such a loved one. I'm glad you all got to spend time with him right before he left this world. You'll see him again someday...

    thinking of you,
