Thank You
The family of Deane Christian McNeil wishes to
thank everyone for their tremendous help and
support in the loss of our loved one. the staffs at
the Comanche Hospital, Hendrick Medical Center,
Whitestone, Western Hills, and Comanche Hospice
were all so wonderfully kind and caring. You made
this most difficult time much easier to bear. The
loving people of First Baptist Church Comanche
made an art out of ministering to their pastor's
family. Thank you is so little to say, but not all the
words in the world could express our feelings.
Van, Terri, Zac, and Zeph Christian
