Personal Notes:
My husband and I would go visit his Grandparents, the Neels in Memphis,Texas as a newly married couple starting in 1980.
Grandpa Neel was born in Nevada, Missouri and his family moved to Memphis, Texas in a covered wagon while he was a small child in the early 1900s.
Grandma Neel was born in Tennessee. Her father died before she was born, Her mother died when she was 2; her grandmother raised her until she was 16. At her grandmother's death, Grandma Neel moved to Memphis Texas to live with her uncle.

Grandma Neel always made the most wonderful meals and never measured anything.
In order to make her recipes, I followed her with my pen & paper and documented. This Chocolate Pie is one result

I look forward to reunion time in Heaven.
