    I am so sorry to hear this news. This just breaks my heart. I'm sure there was a joyous reunion in heaven yesterday. Now he & Connie can be together for eternity. I was blessed to get to know Neal through Connie, my sweet friend & co-worker. This friendship continued through my employment at the hospital where I would see Neal quite often when I got off work in the morning. I pray for peace & comfort for his family.
