Neal and Family We were so sad to hear of your loss. Jeannie was in our thoughts and prayers for many years. Her sweet smile and kind words are a part of my RFHS memories. We rejoice that she walks with her Lord completely restored and happy to be in His presence. God bless you and give you His peace. Ed Davis and Susan Johnson Davis
