We are praying for your family. We will miss Mrs. McKinney so much. We will always remember the horn on her walker she would tease John with and her always ringing the bell at Bible School and her wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed so much and we had been praying for her. Let us know if we can do anything for you and call us anytime. Miss you all!! Praying for you!!!!
