Our love and prayers are with you at this time, but we look forward to that "family reunion" that we will all gloriously celebrate at Jesus return. Until then, we will keep on singing.

My Uncle Jeannie will be greatly missed by all of us. Uncle Jeannie was a very quiet and well dignified man. When uncle Jeannie smiled he would light up any room. God has picked a well groomed rose when he decided to take Uncle Jeannie home. I am sure Grandmother and Grandfather Mason met him at those pearly gates to heaven. Uncle Jeannie you may now rest in peace. I love you. Your niece Linda Feggans.
