I was sorry to hear of the passing of Ms. Schneck. A few months ago I met her at Pioneer Ridge Assisted Living, and found her to be a most enjoyable and interesting person. We had a couple phone conversations as well. May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ surround her loved ones at this difficult times.
