The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

To Mike from Elane Hollingsworth

 

I was thinking about when we all were kids. The times we all spent together.
The fun we had. Except when your Mom and Dad would go shopping. And leaven us all alone together. The whole time was miserable. Because of you, and Neal trying to kill one another. Your Mom use to fret over that. I said one day they will grow up and be good friends. They fight too much not to. lol 
And you both did become friends as adults. Then as life went on Neal became to depend on you, which was hard, at the same time. Be glad you were there for him.  Even though Neal was a grown man, he was still like a child that had been left alone.  I am sure it gave him comfort knowing that you were always there for him.  I do hope that you will try to keep in mind that you were there when Neal needed you most, and know that you did all that you could. In every way, until he left this world, and even now. You took care of his arrangements to make sure that he has a peaceful place to lay to rest. Burying him with your Mom and Dad was the best place for him to
be buried at. I think he will be at peace there.  
I know that this is hard on you in many ways. Do know that we are all here for you, 24/7.  
I have been thinking about the fun times we had as kids all together. I am sure that you have too. I was telling Jimmie about a picture that we are in that was taken at Miss Willy's house on Race Street. We were all sitting on the couch. And even in the black and white picture you can see how black our feet were from playing outside all day, barefooted. We look a mess (like kids that had played all day).  I laugh I think people looking at it today would think. Poor little kids look at them, they are dirty, not taken care of. Thing is they just wouldn't know how loved we were, and what a great time we had.
