I am truly sorry for your family's loss. I have many memories of times spent at your home with my family when we were all kids growing up in Santa Rosa. Mom & Dad's (Lloyd & Nova Jefcoat) friendship with John & Nadine went back many years and continued while they were all living in Burney. Mom still lives in Burney & has many special memories of her friendship with Nadine. My prayers & thoughts are with all of you.
