I have lovely memories of Aunt Geneva and Grandma from when I was a kid. The two of them, along with Aunt Sis, showed us what it means to be sisters and matriarchs of such a big and wonderful family. Sadly, it's now up to the remaining generations of women to follow in their footsteps -- thankfully, they taught us well. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Diane and all the family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Neva. I know that I have not known her as long as others, but what a wonderful lady. I truly enjoyed spending time with Neva and Diane at several "special Fourth of July's". Many great memories of a very special lady ! We will miss her. Tom Cushing ( Wells, ME & Palmetto, FL )

Diane, Jay, Greg, Geoff and Rick,
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was such a gracious lady and I will always remember how proud she was of all of you. My parents always had such great respect for your Mother and your Dad. We are all so very blessed to be part of the Stein family! I'm so sorry that I will miss her funeral and seeing all of you. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Love, Julie

To Diane, Jay, Greg, Geoff and especially Rick,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a gracious lady and such a supporter of what I was trying to do at Christ the King School. The great times on Dover road will always be remembered. " In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony." It was always present in the Stein household. She is in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

'Aunt Neva' has been dear to me for most of my life. I've known Dianne since kindergarden and Neva was the mother of my "other brothers". She would make me spaghetti with no sauce, always had Oreos for me and let Dianne use her car when I learned to drive. She was classy and refined and I was always glad to see her. I will forever smile when she comes to mind. What a wonderful reunion has happened in heaven! Please know that you are all in my prayers.
