My dearest brother,Neil, I can't believe it has been a year today that you left us & went to Heaven. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you & Mom up there shining down on us. It hasn't been easy here helping Dad without your help, but you are always sending me signs & I DO get them! You are right up there so keep beaming up the special prayers to help us! We all love & miss you & you are always in our hearts forever more! Hugs & kisses for you & Mom!
Love, Your DeDee

Dear brother Neil, I just got back a week ago from spending 2 weeks in AZ with Dad. This is the trip we planned on together before you decided heaven was a better place. Sure could've used your help! I found those "pennies from Heaven" that you & Mom left for me at the airport in Dallas & on the way back in Chicago. Guess what was playing on the radio when Kayla picked me up in Des Moines? None other than ZZ Top AGAIN & it was "Sharp Dressed Man" We still all love you & miss you sooo much every single day. It hasn't gotten any easier so far.
Love forever,
DeDee

Neil, you will never guess, ZZ Top is doing a concert in Des Moines 6-26-12 to release a new single,"I Gotta Get Paid". Their 1st new single in 9 years. Did you order this in your memory?? Rick & I went to see the movie "The Lucky One" & what song were they singing in the garden scene but "In The Garden"---the song that Nan used to play on the piano when we were kids & we'd all sing together. I heard another song we used to sing with her & Joyce as kids---"Jesus Loves Me", randomly playing in the kids dept. at Walmart in Cedar Rapids on my birthday, May 6th. We were in CR for a wedding.The beautiful childhood memories! Yes, you are always with us & sending signs & I KNOW it's you!! :-) Love, Your DeDee

in honor of Neil.

I can't believe it's been a month tomorrow already that I received that devastating phone call. It still seems so surreal. We all love and miss you so much everyday.I'm so thankful I was able to talk to you at length the night before. Little did I know when I said "Bye, I love you", it would be for the last time. I'm so glad the four of us were able to make the trip to Maryland to give you your send off to Heaven. I know you are still with us in spirit, cuz you are sending us signs all the time.
I can't believe you had your own funeral music on your new Ipad.. it was such a timeline of your life & we all loved it. I can't tell you how many times I've heard ZZ Top "Sharp Dressed Man" randomly playing on the radio in the last month. When "Somewhere" played memories of drum corps days came flooding back. What great times we all had traveling all over the Midwest to the competitions.
A couple weeks ago when Kayla & I were in Cedar Rapids we went back to our old neighborhood & we got to see Sandi Whitney Blease & her 2 sisters & Brother, Rick. It was such a good time sharing memories of all growing up together.
I know you & Mom are up there looking down on us, so continue to let us know you are ok. We all look forward to the day we will all be together again to join you in Heaven.
We look to our memories for comfort,,,,to friends & each other for help & understanding, and our faith for hope & peace.
You are the best brother I could've ever hoped to have. Remember, you are the one that gave me my nickname when you were little & I was only a baby cuz you couldn't say Dona. I love you, Dear Neil

Barb and family...I was so stunned to hear that Neil had passed away. You have my deepest sympathy at the loss of your husband and dad. I haven't seen my cousin since dad passed away and you came for his service. I have many fond memories of growing up with Neil and Dede......we spent many Saturday nights together as our parents went to work. Ask Dede sometime about the games we played as sitting on the swing on our front porch watching the traffic go by. God bless your family!!! Linda (Early) Haehlen.
