Intense gift
Now that the new reality is being processed, and others are hearing which opens many opportunities to tell them that man has done all he can, it is all up to God. After being told I have several weeks or less. each day is critical.
The blessing is having time with those I love to speak heart to heart, cry, laugh, remember and affirm God’s goodness. I have eternal hope. Do you? How do you know? Is it just a feeling or a know fact.
Many die suddenly without chance to say goodbye as they like.
Do it today for the future is unpredictable.
My humor is still quirky so other than fatique, feel well
Thanks to all
Neal

Dr. Smith,
You wouldn’t know me if you passed me on the street…. But I know you from when I was a child at Woodland Shores. I know that I speak for so many others when I tell you that my life will forever be changed because of how you chose to share your faith during this incredibly difficult time. Because of you, I have committed to be a better person, dig deeper into my christian faith, come to know Jesus as He so desperately wants us to, volunteer more at our church, and make a difference in as many lives as I can. Because of you…MORE PEOPLE WILL COME TO KNOW JESUS through me – again, because of you. Because of you I want my children to have the kind of faith that your children have…What a wonderful gift you have given them. Dr. Smith, because of you…Please know it’s because of you. Thank you for giving so many of us this wonderful gift…You.
Neal,
I just wanted to say how amazing of a man you are. My wife Vanessa and I will never forget the times that you and your family allowed us to have at your house those years at Taylor we called “Weekend at Brittons”. Your family lives out your legacy. Your son is one of the best men that I know. And your influence and legacy will continue to live. You are a blessed man and have lived a fruitful life. I was so blessed by your humor and zeal for life.
Last week, I was praying with some friends from Taylor. When I lamented to them what has been happening in your life, they remembered you by name, deeply moved the the person that you are and saddened by these turn of events. You have my prayers and my deepest sympathies. Thank you for continuing to turn to our Lord and to point us all to him in this time. Heaven is your home.

Cousin Neal,
I am so sad to hear about your recent diagnosis. I feel blessed that Rick, Iain and I got to visit with you and Trish when we visited Bridgman last month. I pray for you, Trish and the kids daily. I know this must be a very difficult time but also very precious time to spend with loved ones. I send you love and hugs!!

Dr. Neal. Thank you for changing my life, I know it is your profession, but I want you to know you and your staff are family, and the impact that they have made is something that I will carry through this journey. I don’t know if I will get a chance to visit with you, but I want you to know you are in our prayers, and your family too. May God give you peace.
