My great cousin;..From the earliest  times that I can remember, you were the one that most of us guy cousins looked up to.......To me you always had it all together, everything, attitude, model trains, music, cars and girls........Thru the years, I always thought, if I could be like Ned in some way, I too, would have it all together!.....Your explainations and advice were always brief and to the point, and I valued your advice about many things......

...I'll miss you, we'll all miss you in the family and I know your time with the Good Lord will be eye opening, and so many things will be explained to you as you are with our aunts & uncles in Heaven. We love you, and will miss you, cousin.+
