Wade, Tony & Greg.
Words really can’t provide much more than hopefully a little comfort in these times.. Just know that BOTH your Dad & Mom and all 4 of you boys were always a family I looked up to throughout my life in Wynne & always.
Through all the times I needed a model personally as an unspoken guide. You boys might not have even realized the family you had as kids ..But I did .
I believe that both Thomas & Jewell were a light in the community of Wynne and for everyone. Their tenacious hard work in careers and resilience as small business owners set a standard that I now realize and I’m sure many others do as well…And I also know as a life long family friend , that that very tenacity really came from raising you 4
(remaining 3) lil “Knuckle-Heads !!
I have no doubt that Thomas is sitting in that tree stand up in that Island in the sky with Miss Jewell waiting on him to come home for dinner with a big story and a buck to match it .
I also know that each one of you are going to be ok , because you have fantastic parents watching over you from here on out ( unless Thomas Neal is keeping em busy lol
I hope you each will do your best to honor them and keep the memories alive and fond and protect each other.
Anyway , I admired your family, always will . I admire each of you.
You boys and you’ve been through a lot. Make Em proud like you always have.
May God Bless each of you and the rest of the family.
They did Good Work.
Wade, you Got This my brother!
I’ll see you all soon .
Much Love & Prayers.

He was lost without Aunt Jewell I'm glad they're together again in a much better place, their sons have done an amazing job of taking care of them in their sickness.
