Many years ago when I lived in Spokane I belonged to the Nazarene Church and the Faith riders bike club. I enjoyed many memories of Jeanne riding our bikes to places all around the Pacific Northwest. I haven't seen any of my Faith rider friends for 15 years since I moved back to Illinois. My sincere condolences to Herb and the rest of her family. Larry Shay

I met Jeanne when I was involved in the Girl Scout Mariner program with the Sea Scouts her father led. I enjoyed discussing her devotional books she wrote with her on Facebook a few years ago. I am sorry for your family's loss but will rejoice with you when we meet in Heaven. May God Bless and comfort you now.
