Remember the many times back in Florida visiting the McKenzie home in Forest City. My parents and the McKenzie’s were very good friends since we all moved to Florida from up north about the same time in the 1960’s. Dennis and I were best of friends and so much time as passed we just haven’t stayed in touch over the years
Always remember Mrs McKenzie for her beautiful smile, her hospitality and the delicious cooking when we would visit their home for Sabbath dinners.
My sincere condolences to Dennis, Neil and Juanita and their families in the loss of their mother and grandmother and know that we will all meet again when the Lord returns.
My Prayers are with your families.
Lonnie
