While walking my 2 pups yesterday, Oct 5th, we walked by the Neff home and Babe was on the porch with 2 family members. Babe worked with my husband, Pete Noel, at the Mt Washington Post Office. Babe was a great help to me after my husband passed and visited us with gifts from the mailmen and patrons if the Mt Washington Office. What a comfort they were to me, and his beautiful wife, Diane. We kept in contact as we walked by their house over the years. Thank you, Babe, and Diane for your great comfort and laughter we shared as we met in our neighborhood of Latonia. I told Babe that I\'m sure Diane would meet Pete in Heaven and they probably would be having card games in Heaven. Love and comfort to you, Babe, Diane, and your wonderful family. We will all meet together in Heaven. Jo Noel
I can just imagine JESUS face when Diane arrived in Heaven. I'm sure the Book of Diane's life had so many things she did for others that it was a large book. As a Mother that loved her Family she was always on call. She was a person that showed kindness to me like she had known me forever. Such a great loss to us all that had the privilege to have know her, even briefly on visits to Kentucky. I know Aunt Helen will be there to greet Diane, she loved her too. Rest in peace Sweet Angel Diane. Condolences to her beautiful Family especially "Babe". GOD will be with you.
On behalf of my family and myself you have our deepest sympathy. My late mom and dad thought a lot of mrs. Neff.
