I was saddened to hear of one of the few teachers left i that actually cared if you learned anything I school or not, and believe me she made sure you learned. Prayers are with you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, David. I was one of her students at Jessie Rice and remember her well being an excellent teacher. Until now, I never made the connection that she was your mother. She will be surely missed by a lot of people. I hope that the days ahead will provide you with comfort during this difficult time.

Her family meant so much to her, and we know that she will be greatly missed by all of her family. Her life ended much too soon for someone who loved life as much as she did.

To the Neubauer family,
I'm sorry for your loss. Mrs. Neubauer was my 7th grade teacher at McEvoy. She was a wonderful teacher. I always enjoyed her class. During this difficult time, I hope you gain comfort in knowing how many lives she touched.
December 12, 2013
David, I first knew your mother at Jessie Rice as my oldest child's seventh grade teacher. When I went to McEvoy Middle School as an administrator, she was one of the teachers in my building. I found her to be a caring teacher and a true professional in the seven years that I worked with her. There is no way to measure the positive influence that she had on students over thirty-eight years. She talked about you and your family a great deal and I know you will miss her terribly. Sincerely, Vonceil NeSmith
