Oh my God this is so shocking to me to know that a wonderful person like him will not be around. Every time I saw him he had a smile on his face and wonderful swag about him. I always saw him with a necklace on that said Paw Paw and I have been calling him that every since. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

There is never the right words to express when someone lose someone they love. But, I can say Mr.Veal was loved by his love ones and that is the love he took with him in in his heart. Now, that his journey in this old world is finished, he trusts you guys to love one another and to keep his memory alive until you all see him again someday around God's throne.

I will keep your family lifted up in prayer and pray that your sorrow will be lighten by the memories left behind.
