Mcneil -- RICHARD JOSE LOREN McNEIL (TINY) October 29, 1967 - April 21, 1999God looked around His garden and found it was too quiet and peaceful, and such an empty place. He looked down upon the earth and saw your shining eyes and wonderful smile. He put His arms around you and lifted you up to Heaven. He only takes the best. He gave you wings so you can soar like your beloved eagles. His garden must be something now-with the roar of a Harley Davidson or a car with glass pack mufflers roaring out loud and clear. It really broke our hearts to lose you, but I know you were not alone for long. You were right there waiting with open arms to protect your dad. A big part of me went with you and your dad, a big part of my heart & soul went with you and your dad. I only wait for the day I can be with you all again. Take care of your dad for me. You are missed so very much... Richard J.-you are a wonderful son.All my love, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa and Family
