So very sad to hear that your mother, Neva, passed. I watched the video. She was a real classic beauty. Heather - I see her in you so much! I pray that your happy memories will help heal your broken hearts. Love to you both.

There are no words to express the sorrow that is felt by many on the loss of a dear friend Neva . A dear loving wife, mother, grandmother, friend. Someone who always put others needs before her own.. She was loved by many.. Neva would brighten up a room with her smile and her laughter. She made everyone feel welcome whether you were an old friend or a newcomer. Today she is shining that light in heaven. My deepest condolences and prayers go out to each and everyone in your family Bill, Heather, Jason, Kristen, Joe, Kira and Alexis. I will miss her.

Dewey & Pat Schiele

We are both so sorry about Neva. She was one of the sweetest ladies we have ever met. We have many fond memories of living 1/2 block apart in Waukesha when the girls were just tiny butterflies. And Neva was a wonderful, patient mother. She made every day brighter for those around her. We know she will be missed by all who knew her. We send heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Bill, Heather, Kristen, grandchildren, and other family members.
