In Loving Memory of Neal Alexander Faries

"DEATH leaves a heartache no one can heal,
LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal".

It's difficult to realize that it has been ten years since we last saw you, laughed with you, and celebrated those memorable milestones with you. You were taken from us way too early. We miss you each and every day and no, our heartache hasn't healed, it's just scarred over! Our memories of you are too beautiful to ever forget, they often help ease our pain. You are so loved and forever in our hearts.

"Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

Your Loving Family
