To the family of Neva White, Although I only recently learned of Neva's death, I want to tell the family that she created a lasting positive memory with me I was called Bubba. She and her husband we called him Stamp were good friends of my deceased parents, Ernest and Irene Carter and they frequently visited with each other over the years. I will always remember Neva as someone who laughed a lot and made others laugh, dressed with perfection, and always had to hug me and my sisters when she saw us. What a wonderful treat from God to have a person like Neva in your life. To Neva's family, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of such a fine lady. Bob and Flora Carter

Meme' was my grandmother. She truly was an inspiration in my life. She made every grandchild to feel special in many different ways. She taught me so much about life and how to follow the Lord. I have many fond memories of her that have made me into the person that I am today. I am most thankful for the times that we shared together and to be her namesake 'Elizabeth'. She will forever be in my heart! Thank you Meme for your love and support to our family!
