My deepest sympathy to the entire Pinney family. Majel and I had some wonderful times in high school. My grandson went to Wilson and he said she was very loved by her students. She will be greatly missed.

Myra, Tom, Cheryl and Geoff---The prayers of our entire family go out to all of you at this most difficult of times. We have so very many fond and fun memories of Majel and your entire family, from growing up together in Job's, and then becoming "Ladies" in Eastern Star. I just read this in the Advocate and cannot believe she is gone. Although we ALL know without a doubt that we will see her again in Glory. Our arms are stretched around you over these many miles and you are all in our daily prayers. Much love to all of you during this most difficult of times.
