I'm still in disbelief that your gone..I'm frightened that this may be a stage of my life I'm un prepared for. My heart aches for your children. I've known you most all my life, your my family. My memories will always be your humor, quick wit, opinionated conversation, but never intimidating. Always gentle and smiling and a laugh that tickled me everytime I heard it. Thank you for being my second family. Thank you for the gift of your family. Your daughter Ruth. My life long friend, I will forever be in your debt. God Bless You Charles. Love Always
ReplyDeleteUncle Edward,I have a head and heart full of memories of you that will last a lifetime. I am so hapy that you were a part of my life for the 62 yrs I have beem on this earth. I will continue to carry on that Neace tradition I learned from first from grandma, and was re-enforced by you, that was the ability to quickly examine a situation,grasp an understanding, tell it like it is and call a spade a spade . If it was the truth you let it rip, come hell or high water. Like you, some of my truths are considered old fashioned and, at times politically incorect, but I am strong enough to stand by my convictions,and they have served me well over the years. I am a better person for the lessons I learned from you. This you left for your children who will pass them on to future generations of Neaces. All families should be so blessed as to have such an example.
