You are much loved and will be greatly missed. I will never forget the impact you, Uncle Harry, and Grandma had on my life.

To the family: May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who are “sleeping in death” God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. Psalms 116:15. For more comfort please visit our website: jw.org and view the faith strengthening video: Is There Hope for the Dead? ?

I had the wonderful pleasure of working for Betty (and Mr. Brickhouse) at Lamar during my college years. Betty was a great mentor in many ways and i'm glad she and Harry had a long time relationship with my father. Knowing her was such a joy.

Knowing there are few experiences more difficult than losing our loved ones in death, I extend my condolence to the family. As you cherish the many fond memories of Mrs. Neville, reflect on the time when aging..., sickness... & death... will be no more! (Revelation 21:3,4; 1Corinthians 15:26) This is what our loving God Jehovah has promised & Jesus Christ himself guaranteed the hope of seeing our loved ones again by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 26:19) May God’s word bring you comfort at this time and in the days ahead as we await the fulfillment of his promises.......

I was so sorry to learn of (my Aunt) Betty Neville’s death. When I was growing up, visiting with Aunt Betty and Uncle Harry was always fun and Betty cared a lot about me and her other family members. Aunt Betty was an original and she will be missed.
