Mike & Family, I am in total shock, I did not know that Jeani was sick. I always thought she was a very special and sweet person and she is always in my thoughts when I remember all of the kids growing up together at St. Stephens and Bishop Ready and all of the good times we had. I am so sorry for your loss and you are all in my prayers to help you thru all of your difficult times. God Bless you all.
