Dear Dick & Carol:

So sorry, the family forgot to call you, to inform you that Neal passed away June 10. Had you on our list but it must’ve been overlooked. Neal was in the hospital two days for a bowel obstruction. But also had a few more problems.

My daughter, Corine and I went to see him Sat at 11: a.m. but would not eat his food at 12:00. Then we left because he said he liked to take a nap. Two o’clock our granddaughter visited him, and was real alert. Three o’clock the nurse called me said I better get over there, as Neal so suddenly turned for the worst. The family came then too; but he was already in ICU. Went into a coma, we couldn’t say good-bye verbally. So, then 5:45 Neal breathed his last breath. So sad to lose your spouse.

It was difficult for my family and I to see him go quickly. But, he is with Jesus in heaven. But, oh! how I miss him. But God is giving me comfort. Asked the family if they informed you. But sad to say it happened, and I apologize. (so sorry) Come over some time you two. Would love to see you. How is all the rest of the family? Be nice to hear from you. God Bless

Your Cousin,

Bertha
