Please accept my sincere sympathy and these words of comfort. Even though the loss of such a beloved person can bring you to a low point, God will raise you up to face each day. (Psalm 9:9) . . .And Almighty God will become a secure height for anyone crushed, A secure height in times of distress."

Jeany,
I found that picture of you and I hugging, when you were 4 years old. Growing up, you and I spent almost every single day of our lives together. We fought and played and lived life. We raised Jacob and Bronte together. I took it for granted. I just thought you were always going to be here. Nobody can convince me that spending the last couple months of our lives living together was an accident. You and I would have never done that before. We were always too independant, regardless of how much we love each other. However, GOD knew that HE was about to take you home and he wanted us to have our time spending every day together, once again...just like when we growing up. Our family is closer than most, but recently, we had all became so busy. That horrible tornado, and losing you, brought us and our friends together again. Sister, there were people who saw GOD's love, and heard the Gospel, that may have never heard it before, because of your death. I know that makes you happy. I miss you, but I know that you wouldn't leave the feet of JESUS if you could. I am glad that you are not feeling pain or growing old. I am happy that you will never again be sick. Jeany, I know that you worked so hard. You struggled and were so brave, but I know just how tired you were. You were just too classy to complain. I can brag on you, because I'm your big sister and I think that the whole world should know just how much you sacrificed for your family. I think they should know because you didn't get the recognition that you deserved, when you were here. Moms seldom do. I am proud of you. I love you. Your babies love you. Your nieces and nephews love you. Countless people love you. Some day soon, you and I will live together again. We will have an eternity this time....

I never met you or anyone in your family, but something in your sons' heartbreaking interview stirred me to donate to them. As a mom of two boys that are my world, I couldn't imagine having to leave them here on Earth without their mom. I pray that God watches over them as you have until now.

Jeany was a wonderful, caring friend. I feel blessed to have spent 5 great months working side by side with her at Buena Vista in MWC last summer. So many laughs she was wonderful to this girl from Boston. We had many things in common and I just loved her.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of Jeany and her smile. Precious caring woman who touched all those she came in contact with. I think of the many laughs we shared and the moments we cried. We kept each other going through the tough times. I will always cherish our memories. I was blessed to have had the joy of being her friend. 'SMILE ANGEL, SMILE'

I know that Jeany Neely's family and friends are overwhelmed at this time. I can only pray that our creator will give a special portion of his spirit to you all in this time of need. King David wrote; ''God will become a secure height for anyone crushed, a secure height in times of distress" May he bring comfort to you all.

Jeany and I were married for 14yrs before separating in 2006. We had a great relationship, and shared custody of both our teenage boys. She was laid to rest today after a beautiful service.
Our two sons have made me very proud. They are very proud of their mother, and we are grateful for all the thoughts & prayers.
On behalf of Jeany's family, thank you.

Jeany took care of my mother at the MWC Nursing Center. My father always looked forward to the times when "Shortie" worked. Jeany was a blessing to our family and to all of the others to whom she brought comfort. She will be missed. Our hearts go out to her friends and family.

Jeany was more than just a GREAT nurse -- she was one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. She may have been small in stature - but in the eyes of residents she was caring for and to her co-workers she was bigger than life..
She will be remembered by her sons, Jacob and Taylor for her unconditional love and unrelenting protection. They were a daily topic of conversation and the light of her life.
She will always be remembered by her co-workers as tenacious and for having been their friend as well as a mentor. She led by example and encouraged each to raise the bar to the highest standard.
For the elderly population she chose to serve she will be remembered for bringing them comfort and joy - always taking the time to make each feel special with her kind and caring touch, her hugs, her smiles and her love.
May God hold her boys, her family and friends close as we all try and deal with this heartbreaking loss.

Jeany you amazed me everyday with your energy, your excitement for life and the love you gave to your patients. You challenged your coworkers to step up and be better for having worked with you. You comforted so many residents and made them feel safe and secure. I'm so glad I got to know you and call you my friend. Heaven will surely be a better place with you in it.

Jeany -
You are missed so much. You were the best nurse and such a joy to work with! Your smile lit up the room - and this smile shone even brighter every time you spoke about your precious sons Jacob and Taylor. Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with everyone and every patient you cared for. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for protecting your son in your final moments. I miss you more than you'll ever know!
