Neri's love and legacy are with us today and everyday. We all continue to see and recognize the impact she is in our own life and countless others. Neri, I miss the way you would quietly give small gifts to others. I miss the way you loved your family and made us all feel special and cared for, I am so thankful for it.  You are the heart. We love you so much and can't wait to see you again soon.

Dearest Larry & Family. We are totally shocked at the passing of Neri.   She was so vibrant and happy.  We Always loved seeing her at Oaktree Festival.    You guys were absolutely the greatest couple.  We go back a long time when Paul & Carol lived on Thornhurst.  Our deepest sympathy and condolences. She may have Transitioned to another place but you will always have your memories.  God help you through this challenging time.  She was a great and loving person and loved  by so many.

Dear family and friends, 
I just wanted to let you know we appreciate each of your heartfelt comments. They truly are uplifting , and help us during our deep grief. Monday evening I read out loud all the 91 sweet comments to my parents , that were left on f/b Edgewood alumni page in honor of Ned. They felt the love left there for their daughter.  I promise to share this page with them as well. My sister will live on in each of her siblings because she gave us so much and she taught us so much by her example. Your prayers are powerful ,and appreciated . Hope to see you. 
Love you,   Diana (Neds favorite sister) > that was always Neds joke!

To our dear friends, the Huante family, please know that the Arnolds all have you in their thoughts and prayers as you suffer this heartbreaking loss.  Anyone who ever met Neri, was surely  captivated by her sweet nature, beautiful smile, cute laugh and sense of humor.  I hadn't seen her since a few years after high school when I moved out of the area, but I always heard updates through my mom and surely thought I would eventually see her again.  My heart goes out to her family and close friends at this time.  She was just a beautiful soul.  

My sweet cuz Ned, Ever morning I wake up and think" oh its a beautiful day" then automatically go to your memory of  not being here.
I have a very lovely picture of you and Larry, I sent it to you. you laughed at how old you were. You two showed me how true love caring should be always.
I've always remembered how you didn't really treat me as a little kid even though I was. I remember the find the clue games I remember the Nancy Drew books you would lend me. Ha even Mystery Date.
I remember your painted rocks, your infectious laugh and how I thought you were such a cooler cousin because you were older. ( Sorry every other cousin  )
There is probably is not enough space today to show much you meant to me.
The last time I saw you I hugged you was at Uncles Celebration of Life, I do believe you are with him, Davy, Yor Grandma, Mom am so many people that have passed and were lucky to share their life with you.
love you sweet cuz-xoxo

Neri was one of my best friends in high school and through our 20s.  I have wonderful memories including her bachelorette party, her wedding, our 10 year high school reunion and many many more. We were in drill team together and Camp Fire Girls.  We lost touch in the latter years but I will always remember her sweet nature, her fun wilder side and that big grin!

I will always remember Neri as the sweetest of spirits in our Camp Fire group. Her quiet powerful presence and passion for life will not be forgotten.  I most especially remember her  smile, which could truly light up a room. Wayne and I both send our heartfelt condolences to your family. 

I’m devasted at losing my dearest friend.  I’m going to miss all of our talks and visits together.  So happy to have such wonderful memories of us growing up together.  And thanks to you and your idea to doing trips overseas I have all of those fun times to think back on.

With all my love,

Pam
