Jimmy I just heard Zach told me I’m so so sorry for your loss of your wife. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God be with you and the whole family.
My heart is just broken! Nev and I were best of friends ever since she started at our middle school and straight through high school. I have many things she made in art class and gifted to me. I will always cherrish those items.
Although we only saw each other about a half of dozen times since she moved away, we would talk for 1-2 hours every few months. I will never forget her laugh.
My heart goes out to Jim, the children and all the family she left behind.
You are in our prayers!
May Nev be at peace now. Prayers to the family during this difficult time. I will forever miss Nev and our little chats. She was such an amazing woman!
We were saddened to hear of Nevs’ passing. She was amazing women with a heart of gold. Our condolences and prayers go to her family. May she now rest in peace and flourish in heaven as she did here on earth. She will be dearly missed.
Heartfelt thoughts go out to you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Even though she is gone from our sight,
She will ALWAYS be in our hearts.
I write this message with only good memories of Nev. She was the best person I ever worked with and would always do whatever it took to get the job done all the while smiling and laughing as she went about the day. You could always count on Nev no matter what obstacles we’re presented.
Nev was so proud of Nasha and always kept me informed about Nasha’s schooling and military service. She was her biggest fan by far as I am sure Jim is too.
As Jim recovers with Nasha‘s assistance I pray both of you remember how much Nev loved you both and that her love helps you both carry on understanding Nev is with the Lord and out of pain and you will all meet again in heaven one day.

I am only an acquaintance of Nev, having met her and her husband many years ago through my cousin, Sandy Rimar. Nev was always such a nice person and fun to be around. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing and wanted to give my condolences to her husband and family. Gone too soon. Eternal Memories.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. God Bless and may she Rest In Peace, Amen.
