Garnet Jr Neely

In memory...

September 16, 2017

My Deepest Sympathies, I didn't know Mr. Neely long, I was one of his caregivers at Hampton Cove Nursing Home. In the short time of knowing him I remember one thing he said to me after I had asked him how his day was." He told me every day I have a conversation with the Good Lord above is a good day". And I affirmed that with a Amen Mr. Neely. He will be greatly missed and remembered for all eternity. Lorie Scobee, Caregiver
