Hannah Ruth Neal

Remembering Hannah with much love and fondness. May the ‘good memories’ you have enjoyed across the years sustain you during the coming days. Be assured of our love and prayers!! The Jewetts and Mildred ‘Mamaw’ Smith

I remember the great time we had at the Lindsey ladies retreat . and the morning we were laughing so hard we woke up the entire house, the laughter and tears we all shared together in that fellowship with each other. I am going to miss you Hannah until we meet again you will be in my heart . Barbara Weber

Hannah Neal who was an important person that came into my life for a short time but made a huge impact passed away 7/15/15. God puts certain people in our lives for a reason. Without going into detail I grew up in church as a Christian but one day when I was around 18, I came to believe God may have forgot me or left me, or I wasn’t good enough because all these bad things that had happened to me in my life. I became bitter at the world. At times I wondered if God was even real. Hannah Neal who passed away two days ago at a young age was there for me and helped lead me to the right path. A conversation with her on a dirt road when I was fixing to give up opened up my eyes to see the truth. I began to change, life changed, and I realized God was with me all along!!! If not for her helping me see the light, I might have ended up dead physically even though i was already dead emotionally or worse I could have ended up a non believer that went to hell. So I truly believed she guided me to the good path I’m on, saved my life on earth and eternity. She taught me that you don’t have to perfect to have God’s love all you have to do is believe and try. We may fall off that horse doesnt mean we never ride again, nope we learn our lesson and get back up on that horse. Never give up God is faithful there is always light at the ended of a tunel and a rainbow after a storm. Anyone reading this that knows me you will laugh at this because you know how stubborn I can be. It takes a special person with a certain personality and attitude to lift a person up at certain hard times in life. She was about 10 years older then me but was like a sorority house mother figure to me. If somebody was sitting in a corner crying she was there with them holding them wiping tears, if somebody was like im done i give up she’d talk you out of it. If someone was sad she was a big goofball! She could turn atheists on fire for Jesus! When we ministered to people for non profit, People would say man i want her peace and joy so tell me more about God. Being in an room with this woman changed your attitude completely she had the most contagious laugh and smile that i still miss and I try to be like her but its not always possible lol but hey we all shine in our own little ways wink emoticon She was an amazing person. Even though Hannah and I were in different states and lost touch over the years, I still think about her often and miss her even though she was only in my life about 1 year. I’m not good at long distance friendships… The worst and most devastating part of all this is not that I will miss her, I’ve already been missing her for years but that her loved ones husband and children will they won’t have her here on earth especially the 6 year old who will have less memories of what a bright shinning person she was. I know in my heart God gained another angel 2 days ago and I hope that she will continue to look out for me and my family as shes in heaven as our guardian angel just as she was my angel on earth almost 10 years ago. I don’t think that she had any idea what an impact she had on my life. She wasn’t perfect only God is but It is better to bring 1 lost soul to God then 99 saved souls. She was an angel on earth that’s now in heaven. I know she affected many people’s lives not just mine. I wish I would have told her this when she was alive. I believe one day we will meet again and I will be able to.
