My sympathies to Marietha’s family: May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories as you look forward to the time when, as Isaiah 33:24 tells us, no resident will say “I am sick.” Such comfort and hope because all of God’s promises come true.

Mrs. Neal was a mentor and mother figure to the many students and young adults she touched as a classroom teacher. Her bright smile and jovial personality will be dearly missed. May God's comfort surround the family during this difficult time.

We may never understand the wisdom of God but we simply have to Trust His Will. Remember that weeping may endure for a night but JOY comes in the morning! Psalm 30:5 I will continue in prayer for you and Chapter as well.

While we know this is a hurting time for you Anderson and your family, we just want you to know that we are lifting you all up in prayer. To be absent in the body, is to be present with The Lord. May God continue to surround you all with His peace.

My Prayers and Condolences goes out to the family, we spent many days and nights at the CTA office, she was one of the hardest working, most dedicated teacher's I known. As past president of CTA , a great deal of changes were administrated, as her secretary, she taught me so much, and to always stand for what's right, in spite of, Marietha will be solely missed, but she live the life of a true
Christian by example, I shall miss you my friend,
Rest in the loving arms of Christ

I am praying that the PEACE of God will sustain you and the POWER of God will strengthen you through this experience. To have known Marietha as a soror, co-worker, mentor to my daughter, and friend was truly a pleasure. To know her was to know that she was always outspoken and bubbling with laughter, going above and beyond to stand up for and speak out on issues and for people that she felt strongly about...she embodied the true spirit of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority; she was an ENCOURAGER and a WARRIOR in every arena! God bless you and keep you...Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints (Psalms 116:15).

Sending prayers to the Neal Family, Marietha is my first cousin on my mothers side of the family. ! haven't seen her in a long time, but the times I spent with her at our family reunions were Joyous ones. When she came to San Francisco for a teachers convention we had so much fun. I admired her for being a teacher and caring about children. Rest in Peace Rita, you're going to a better place.

To: Family of Mrs. Neal, I did not know her personally, but she taught some of my neices, and I was told that she was a very smart, good fair teacher. That is what we need in schools, teachers who are willing to listen to their students, and have much patience. Rest in peace Mrs. Neal, your job is well done, and I know your family will miss you dearly!!
