They were blessed with two sons, Jonathan Jay and Rodney Don, who were raised on the ranch they occupied on BlueGum for over 50 years.

Rodney,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. She and your dad were truly the nicest people I ever met. So many fond memories over those high school years long ago. It was an honor to have known them.
Take care...Lynn (Sauls) Pace
