Dad - what can I say. You will be missed by all. Your many stories of growing up in Kensington (even
if we did hear them 20 times before) were always entertaining. And your wonderful voice singing to us. You have shown this
family what it means to support one another and to love one another. Always your baby. Love ya Di
Diane McNeal

McNeal is at peace and there is no pain. God bless you all!
