While she will be missed here on earth, I know John takes comfort in the fact that we will see her in Heaven some day. We are praying for you John.

So sad to hear of the passing of such a sweet and wonderful person that I had the priviledge of getting to know. I remember Mrs and Mr Kreynus used to always eat at Ryan's steakhouse in Colonial Heights with us after church each sunday along with US Soldiers Mr Kreynus had picked up from Ft Lee to bring to church. She also used to make my favorite chicken I called it "greasy chicken". Mrs and Mr Kreynus served as missionaries to Ft Lee with Armed Forces Baptist Missions for well over 25 years. My deepest condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with the Kreynus family during this difficult time.
