Sandy Neal Laid to Rest & Happy Resurrection Day

We laid Sandy Neal to rest yesterday. The graveside service was beautiful. The casket cover was gorgeous. I got a picture of it to share with you. After the graveside service we went back to Uncle Mikes house and spent some quality time with him. It was precious time spent with family. I hate it was under the circumstances that it was but it was cherished time nonetheless. 

What a wonderful thing it is that she is spending her first Easter in heaven, getting to see her Lord and hearing, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”  She is also being reunited with her son who passed a couple of years back. Sandy loved the Lord and served in her church and went on mission trips with the BGEA (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association). Laura Neal said, “She gave till her body couldn’t give any more.” She had a big heart and shared her faith with anyone and everyone. What a legacy this awesome lady has left behind. I (Lisa) only wish I had known her better. The time I did meet her she left an indelible impression on me. After this weekend I got to see that she probably never met anyone that she didn’t leave an indelible impression on. She was well known in her home town. And as I’m seeing she was a proper “Lady”. She taught her daughter in law how to be a proper lady. What a legacy because there are two granddaughters who are also being taught how to be proper ladies as a result. This wasn’t the end for Sandy Neal though. Only the beginning. And one day we will see her again. Heaven is our home and we are just travelers here on this earth serving the Lord until He returns or we go to be with Him like Sandy did. What a joy it is to know our future home is even better than anything we can imagine in our wildest dreams. It’s better than the best we’ve ever experienced here on earth. How wonderful it is that we have that to look forward to. 

Thank you God for your love and kindness and mercy on us. Thank you that our future home is with you. Thank you for sending your son to prepare a place for us. Thank you that this weekend especially we get to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I can’t put it any better than Dolly Parton does in this song, 

T’s new Fedora!

T got a fedora to go with his suit for church tomorrow. 

Easter Came early for T

Aunt Elaine made an Easter basket for T and his Nan and Pop loaded him up with cash. Just caught these few pics with my phone. Not the best pictures. He’s one excited and happy boy right now. 

Honoring An Honorable Woman

We are honoring an honorable woman today as she’s laid to rest. Aunt Sandy was known and loved by many. RIP Aunt Sandy!

Family Pictures

It’s sad that the only time we get great family pictures is when there’s been a death in the family. At least we clean up nice. 

T’s New Digs and Shoes

T is one sharp looking Dude!  We have had a death in the family plus it’s Easter weekend so he’s all set for both.  He sure cleans up nice. We head to Kentucky tomorrow so that we can spend time with the family in this time of loss. Scot’s Aunt Sandy passed away. She loved the Lord and is now with Him. She will be greatly missed but we all know she is in a much better place. RIP Sandy!  We know you and your son, Mike Jr, are reunited now and enjoying being with the Lord together. You may be gone but you won’t be forgotten plus we will see you again one day!  

Scot’s 50th Birthday Video

50th Birthday

Here’s Scot’s reaction when he came home today:

His reaction was to this:









One of Scot’s faves. 

Now all he needs is Creed ll and he’ll have all the Rocky movies. 

He wore this to dinner tonight at Kanki. We were surprised he chose that over Bonefish Grill. 

Our silly son and his expressions while waiting to be seated at Kanki. 

T picked out these candles. 

And last but not least here’s a picture I put together:

Scot’s 50 Today!

We are all set for when he gets in from work today. Spent the morning taking care of everything for his milestone birthday. Looking forward to celebrating tonight. We thought he’d want to go to Bonefish Grill but tonpur surprise he chose Kanki. Either is a win in my opinion. Both restaurants are awesome!  

Carrot Cake is his favorite!




T is going to have him wear the t-shirt and the button that’s on the Birthday bag when we go out to eat tonight...LOL! I know I know, what goes around comes around. It’ll be my turn in November when I turn 50...LOL!
