Mother Neal, though our fellowship opportunities changed, myself and Emma never forgot and never stopped trying to reach you. It is truly with remarkable regret and sadness that we didn't know about your homegoing but we know you are definitely with God! To the family, she was definitely a remarkable woman. Her presence has been and will forever be missed!

To the Family of Mother Neal: I'm so sorry for your loss. May God provide you much comfort and peace during this time of bereavement. Mother Neal was a wonderful inspiration to me personally and I will miss her dearly, especially I will miss picking her up from time to time and driving her to church, sometimes driving her to her granddaughter's house on Thurston Road for dinner after church. She's resting in peace now and smiling down now from heaven upon all of us. God Bless all of you. With God's sweet unconditional love.
