So sad to hear of the passing of Jeanette and Fred. They were truly great people who really loved the Lord and helping others. They gave their time to volunteer and help children in schools learning to read. They will both be greatly missed and prayers go out to the family for comfort through this time of loss. So long my friends until we meet again.
Darrell and Melinda Smith
I am sorry that my friends Scotty and Matthew are going through the loss of another family member so soon. Praying for them and the rest of their family.
So sorry for your loss, Fred and Jeanette were like 2nd parents to me growing up, went on many beach trips and practically lived there half the time, they was always good to me, my thoughts and prayers are with Darrin, Scotty, and family through this difficult time.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
