Praying for you

Cindy and family, I'm so sorry to hear about Jeannette's home going...but rejoice that she is now living what she believed. What a love for Jesus and missions she had. Such a passion for telling others about the life that ony Jesus could give truly drove her! She will be missed...but her reward is great! I'm praying for y'all. Love you!
