My prayer and condolences to the Pettis and Manske families! We share many wonderful memories from our childhood days at Roswell Elementary School. Words are never enough, but I would like to share from God's Word that He promises to hold close those who have a broken heart and to bless those that mourn the loss of their loved ones. I too just recently lost my husband and I know the depths of sorrow over a loved one. Sherrie Breshears Dahlin

We had so much fun together when we were little, climbing the haystack out back and playing games. We were always welcome at the Pettis house!

"There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again." - Elizabeth Lawrence - Remembering Raynel from our garden, Roswell Elementary, I will always remember you as the sweet, gentle girl that you always were.

I was so saddened to hear of Raynel's passing. We attended Jr.High and High School together. I never saw her after graduation until our last HS reunion and enjoyed visiting with her. May God hold her in his warm embrace and may he comfort her remaining family and friends. God bless you!

I am saddened by the passing of Raynel. I attended Roswell Grade school on through Parma High with Raynel. We were in 4-H club together. The last time I saw her was at our 40 yr. reunion. She was delightful and seemed happy. My condolences to her family.
