So sorry for your loss, West Fork will miss him.
So sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was one of a kind. Bless you and your family.
I have lots of memories of Neil from when I was a child. He was quite a character that will be missed. Our condolences to his family.
Grandpa Neil was a hard working grandpa. I always remember him calling me on the farm to help him feed cattle. He would say Amandeeeee. Amandeeeee!!!!! And we went and feed cattle. He always had many many stories to tell which is what I have and will miss. He was an amazing person and will be missed very much. I pray for the family and you will be in my thoughts. Love ya all.
Neil had the ability to make you feel special even if you were just a customer.I loved his stories and his laughter when he finished telling a joke. I admire his honesty and hard work. His stories of picking cotton as a child and some of the cantankerous horse and mules he had dealt with were my favorites. Neil was a delightful friend.
I am so sorry for the loss of Mr. Mathews. I went to school with his son Tony. May god be with each and everyone of you.
R.I.P You will be missed in West Fork. My payer's are with his family.
So very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Mathews. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I am going to miss you Uncle Neil.. You gave me my first real pair of cowboy boots ,hat , jeans and shirt dressed me up like a cowgirl and put me on a horse for the first time.. I rode 40 miles on the back roads from West Fork to Springdale to go to rodeos with you with a horse falling down on me and landing on my legs every few seconds (would not change it for anything), I was there when you got your new teeth and you had to get a picture biting my finger with them :-)took me to my 1st square dance.. I have way too many fond memories of you to be able to write here.. Daddy and I love you and it has left a hole in our hearts. You will sincerely be missed by all who loved and knew you and all who didn't know you surely missed out.. love you Uncle Neil we will see you again.
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane.I would walk right up to Heavenand bring you back again.No farewell words were spoken,No time to say "Goodbye".You were gone before I knew it,and only God knows why.My heart still aches with sadness,and secret tears still flow.What it meant to love you -No one can ever know.But now I know you want meto mourn for you no more;To remember all the happy timeslife still has much in store.Since you'll never be forgotten,I pledge to you today
