I AM SO SHOCKED, AS WE WERE ROOMATES AT BROWN UNIVERSITY BEFORE I MARRIED MY HUSBAND DAVID WEBER AND SWITCHED TO SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE JUST NORTH OF NYC. WE LIVED IN SACRAMENTO AND I VISITED NEFF AT HER HOME NEAR THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY BRIDGE. MY HUSBAND DAVID DIED IN ROCHESTER, NY IN 2016. I SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER NEFF FOR HER KINDNESS AND GREAT SENSE OF FUN.

Neff was a friend of my growing up years. We walked to school together, & spent many hours together over the years.
My prayers are with her & her loved ones.

I met Neff when we were both part of the local RWA chapter and enjoyed her company so much. When she became a publisher, she published my backlist mysteries and we developed a custom of getting together for lunch several times a year, most recently at her favorite dim sum restaurant, eating dumplings and discussing life, books and travel. She lived her life with grace, dignity, and wit, compassion and courage. She is missed.

I first met Neff in my early Regency writing days, when she was a grand dame among Regency authors, but my greatest interactions were from her publishing company, Regency Reads. When I first started publishing my backlist, I dabbled my toes in the mysterious waters of indie publishing by going to her. She made it so easy! She was a joy to work with, and will be missed anyone who knew her.
