This is my mom and dad. They are wonderful people! Dad just passed a few months ago and they were inseparable, so God found a way for them to be together again! I miss them...

Jean and Lowell were faithful attendees to the Adult Sunday School "Primetime" class at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church. They always had a warm and friendly greeting. Although their health kept them away recentely, we remember and miss them. Marcia Sheffield
