Megan, I was so sad to read about the passing of your grandfather. Just think of the happy times to get you through this difficult time.

It has been 'fun' to be with Neil and earlier with Judy. They both made our church life special. He was a friend and one to swap stories with. His faith and faithfulness were so real and casual. I will miss him. He and Judy are with our Lord together with all who have gone before them. I wonder if they will be swapping stories there. Thanks, Neil .....

Condolences to the family. I remember Neil well in Stamford. He was one of the nicest gentleman in town and always involved in important events for the betterment of Stamford.

I believe Mr. Belisle was our milk man when I was a little girl back in the 1960's. I know we had Mr. Belisle from Modern Dairy at our house in Pownal. He delivered the milk right to our refrigerator while my parents were at work. He had a big ring of keys and our house key was on it. I sure can't imagine doing that today! Sorry to hear he's gone.

To the Belisle family. I'm so sorry to hear of Neils passing. I worked with Neil at the Atomic Plant where he was liked by everyone. A great guy. He and his wife Judy were very special people. Together again. My sincerest condolences to all.

Dear Sheila, Sharon, Bruce, Stacy and family, Neil was a strong believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and he is therefore now in the very presence of his Savior whom he loved deeply and with his beloved bride Judy forever. They are in joy and bliss and perfection that we cannot even imagine! No more suffering, sickness, sorrow, separation by death, struggles, or presence of sin in this world. Please allow the Holy Spirit to comfort you with these facts in your sorrow. The Bible says that if we have committed our lives to Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven for eternity. I treasure the privilege I had to be his pastor and friend for over 23 years. We had many special times spiritually and doing projects together. He bailed me out of more than one woodworking dilemma! I am so grateful for all he did for the church as well. God bless you all. You are all in my prayers. Love and Hugs, Bill

So sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
