Condolences
To the family of Jeanie Gray - Rick and I will miss Jeanie. She was a good and kind neighbor with a warm smile, a kind heart, and a gentle nature. She is with Jesus now, singing and dancing, and pain free, and maybe even playing some guitar music for those who are in Heaven! We will be praying for each family member as you all learn to navigate life without her. In Christian Love, Rick and Teresa Black
I will miss our after. church lunches and Sunday school class.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. “Nanny”will always have a special place in my heart. She loved the Lord and her family more than anyone I have ever known. She made plans for this day many years ago. Even though it’s sad for us, I know she is rejoicing in Heaven with Jesus today. Keep her close in your heart by cherishing every memory you have with her and look forward to the day when you can be together again. ♥️ Deb
Jeanie was our 'littlest angel' in the St. John's Choir. She was a sweet, loving southern belle. The first words out of her mouth when she would see me is 'I love you' in that Kinnakeet drawl. I will miss her dear, smiling face, but know she is rejoicing in Heaven with her dear friend Audrey and will be watching over us and her family as a shining star in the heavens. God Speed my dear friend.
I love my little choir sister and especially miss how good she said the prayers we said before singing. I know she is in the arms of The Great Comforter!
The sweetest Aunt ever! She was an example of love and faithfulness, truly a woman of GOD. She will be missed. What a glorious reunion she is now enjoying!
May you the family continue to feel the grace and peace of our Lord.
Sorry to hear of Jeanie's passing. She was a very nice lady and will be missed by the people of Kinnakeet. Condolences to the family.
