It is always devastating to lose a loved one -- and especially a beloved parent or spouse. As Proverbs 31:10-12 reminds us, the worth of a "virtuous woman" is "far above rubies." Sending our deepest sympathies to the Neily family. Joe and Betty Jo Anthony

She was one of my favorite teachers in Shawsville , She taught Spanish and I often laugh thinking of how awful I was at speaking Spanish and seeing her smile and shake her head. She was loved by her students and I will pray hard for her family during this difficult time
