I'm very sad to learn about Neanza's death. I only knew her from online chatting at ISPQ, but she was a kind, humorous, understanding person who I will miss a lot.
May she rest in peace.

I am deeply sorry that Neanza has passed away. I worked with her at Opportunity Enterprises for many years. She was fun to talk to and always did her best to help our clients. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.

Peaceful greetings to each of you who touched and were touched by Neanza. I had the pleasure of being a part of her Opportunity Enterprises family and remember her big beautiful smile and her laughter.
Neanza was a person to respect. She was as caring to her co-workers as she was to her clients. I was lucky to have experienced her loving heart first hand.
Her friend, Jean
