Dear family of Neil Simmons,
I knew Neil when he attended Eastern High School. I was an assistant in his English class. He had an awesome personality and a contagious smile. He also attended OakBrook Church where I attend and the last time he was home, I shook his hand during the service. Thanks, Neil for giving your life for others and your country.
Your family is in my prayers. Jeanne D.

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening,
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate, and dwell in that house where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity;
in the habitation of Thy glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
My sincere heartfelt condolences to David's family. May God give you peace in your heart and strength to carry on.
