I ask her if she would sign my copy of THE Homecoming she signed it "the first Olivia" she will be surely missed especially by all the folks in Knoxville at the Patricia Neal Rehab center for stroke victims. I have a extra copy of her death announcement i will be glad to send you. you may contact me at mayberry1956@yahoo.com with a mailing address and i will send it to you.

Patricia Neal became one of my favorite Actors.She truly was one of a kind and I often wished I had the chance to of met her. There are very few actors that have the talent that she had. She will me missed and I will always keep a special place in my heart for her, and will always remember her especially when I watch The Homecoming at Christmas time. Bless her in Heaven.
