The family of Arylis Lee (McIntosh) McNeill has received the following condolences.
To Denny & the boys & all the family,
So sorry to hear of Arylis's passing.
What a tough little girl she had to be growing up with all those boys! I remember that she always called my father Gig. We thought if funny when she told us it was short for giggles. We couldn't imagine our father deserving such a nickname!
May all your memories bring a smile and give you comfort knowing that she is now in good hands. Marie McIntosh Erickson

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best". -Author Unknown.
Thinking of all of you! May you find peace in the many wonderful memories that you all share together!!
