Ricky, Lisa, Benjamin Neb is at home with The Lord ...a perfect peace... I remember him as a gentleman who loved his family. I think about all the work he did at Isle od Hope Baptist and the pride he took in his little corner of the world. He enjoyed people and always made me feel welcome in your home. I can still see him sitting on your deck Easter Sunday giving Your mom bills for the egg hunt.! Last Easter was no exception....he loved being a part of festivities!
