Leroy, sorry to hear about Jane’s passing. Will pray for you and family and ask for peace in this difficult time.
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Jane. We have lived across the street from them for the past 3 years. When we first bought our house Leroy and Jane were over as soon as possible to introduce themselves. We wish we would have known sooner. We will definitely miss them.
