May God continue to bless this family. Just keep the faith and remember that God is in control.
MAY MEMORIES BUILD BRIDGES YOUR HEART CAN CROSS. HOPING THE LOVE OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BRING YOU COMFORT AND PEACE. SHE WILL BE MISSED AROUND THE CLOVERLAND NEIGHBORHOOD. FROM ALL THE BURLESON’S FAMILY.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest assured the gates of heaven flew open to welcome their newest angel
“Mama Lorraine.”
I met Mrs. Lorraine Nealey in 1977, my junior year at Worthing High School,by way of her lovely daughter Mrs. Tami Green-Smith.
Tami and I relationship blossom over the years and so did the relationship between her mother and I, Mrs. Lorraine, who ultimately was like a second mom to me.
We enjoyed very many intimate family moments together happy as well as sad, but no matter how many times she seen me or spoke with me over the phone, she always told me how much she loved me.
She often referred to me as “My Greta”…. Which made me feel so special….Mama Lorraine was known for her style and grace, but most importantly, the love she had for God, her children, family and friends….
Gone but not forgotten, the legacy she leaves behind is bigger than life itself….. The memories and the love we have for “Mama Lorraine”, will forever live in our hearts.
Vincent, Tami, and Traci may God grant you peace that surpasses all understanding….
Remember weeping may endure for a night, but joy always come in the morning….
Love you forever…
Greta
Now Heaven Knows / Now Heaven knows, The heart of an angel whose soul was dipped in gold. Now Heaven knows, The unbiased opinion and understanding nod as though she been there 10 times before. Now Heaven knows, The aches and pain and told her leave those at the doors. Now Heaven knows, The joyous reunion of the father and son once more. Now Heaven knows. The mother that you’ve known and the love she’s shown will last forever. Hargrove Family
They say it takes a village to raise a child and growing up in Cloverland that’s what we had. Ms. Nealey along with many others were always around to watch over a lot of us. She will be missed but I know she’s at peace and we loved her but God loved her more. RIP and I know she’s going to be with some good company like mama and others.
May God give you all strength to endure the lost of your mother, but just remember to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Love you all much
My condolences to the family. One of my elementary teachers in El Maton, TX at A. Jefferson School.
