Monday, April 20th Grandpa McNeill was called home and peacefully crossed through the veil to the next life. He passed away surrounded by his loving wife and children, who had been with him continually during these last days of his life.
We have had plenty of time to prepare for his departing, recounting with one another the wonderful times shared with him. We spent many hours recounting the life that he led and the man that he was. Just a few are: He taught by example. He loved each of his children completely and without question. He was devoted to his wife of 50+ years. He loved the Savior. He did good continually, whether at home or at work. He was a hard worker and taught his posterity to do the same. He never cheated anybody out of what was rightfully theirs, he was a man of Integrity.
We love you Grandpa! Each of us, your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will have memories to buoy us up when life gets difficult. It has truly been, a life well lived!

Hello McNeill family,
ReplyDeleteSister McNeill read me her father's talk at the funeral. It gave me a wonderful insight into her Grandfather's life. He seemed like a great man, and I feel honored to have had that glimpse into his life. I cannot even imagine (and really dont want to)how difficult it would be to lose a parent. Because of your daughter, I have an understanding of the Lord's love for us, his atonement, and the afterlife. I love the plan of salvation, and I also love that his plan includes eternal families. My prayers are still with your family, and I send my love to everyone!
