Neda Walburga Alhilali

One of Neda's large installation pieces

Neda, I loved our many outings to museums and restaurants. Thank you for all of your lovely art and for sharing your life with me. I miss your enthusiasm for life! I was always a big fan of your artistic style... all those huge installments were just amazing. I will treasure you always. Much love to you.

I'd like to express my condolences to Neda's family. Neda was a wonderful teacher and mentor to me as a Scripps student. Her creativity was so boundless and inspirational for me to witness as a developing artist. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to have known her and carry many fond memories of her mentorship. She was truly a force of nature and a beautiful soul. Rest In Peace, Neda.

I want to say sorry to Neda`s Family because they have lost Neda, that wonderful Grandma and Artist. I am Christa, Walburga`s classmate at SCHOOl at Deggendorf, Bavaria. At that time she was already very creative and produced beautiful drawings and paintings. And she had the Great Dream of becoming an artist.

Mother of my friend Ali.... she was a nice woman.

I work with Neda for several years in the 80´s , she was like my mother as she was very generous . We spend years together, working , eating, telling stories about our countries, etc. Neda was one of the most intellectual, smart and intelligent person I have ever met. I look at her art , and see that every single piece has story to tell as she put out her love in every Art piece she created. (I was there to help and support and weaved some of her art work. As a single mother myself...

Condolences. Neda's son and I were friends as students at Santa Monica High in the late 1970's.

I am writing on behalf of Akram Al-Hilali's children, Khalid's brother. We are so saddened by the demise of Neda. Neda was loved by all who knew her, including our parents, uncles, and aunts. We still remember our mother telling us about the beautiful handmade gift she received by mail when I was born, and how our aunt Amna lived with her brother Khalid and his wife Neda for two years because her school was close to their house and far away from her home. My uncle Hamid also told me how...
