To Dale & family, We are so sad to hear about the passing of your mom. We heard you speak of her so very often, and although we didn't know her personally, we did know that she raised a great son and grandchildren. May God bless you in this difficult time.

Dear Dale and family, Neva became a very dear friend . We both where blessed with true miracles. Miracles that came from our faith in Jesus. She will always be a beautiful light in my heart that will never go out. She has left me with the memories of what love can do. Vicky Demicco Savannah, GA.

Dear Dale and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. I got to know her when we met at Shirley's when Betty passed away. She was so wonderful and sweet. My mother had passed a long time ago and Neva told me that I could call her "MOM".I really felt like she was my mom too. I loved her so much and I never did get to see her again and I really hate it. We all will meet again. God bless and comfort you all. Love, Joanie.
