We remember the wonder smile and cheerful greetings we received from Neva during our visits at Dome Rock and the rest home over the past few years. We always know Neva would have a friendly greeting for us and a Prayer for Dad even though she was not feeling well herself. Your life must have been a good one having Neva in it. We are sorry for your loss but be assured she is in a greater place.

What a great "lady" she was, and a wonderful witness of her faith in God. She was always a blessing and encouragement to us, with her wonderful smile, and beautiful attitude. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
Sorry we could not be there for her memorial service.
May God bless and comfort you all,
Gerald & Betty Parriott
