In Loving Memory
Ernie, She was a beautiful lady and neighbor. She will be missed. We know she suffered much in the end and hopefully she is at peace now.

I worked with J'Neil for 3 years when the Jazz had their offices in the Triad Center. She was always one of my favorite people in the organization. I'll be forever indebted to her for bailing me out of a real bind when I lost all of the commercials for an entire game telecast on the day of the game!!! I'm so sorry to hear we've lost her...she was a great lady.

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. --- inaccurately attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson J'Neil was very successful.
Thank you, J'Neil!
