    My thoughts and prayers go to all the Buffington and Hammers family. Jonnie was a very special woman full of love that she shared with many. I knew her as a young woman. Both she and Kenny were loved by the Shepard family. God Bless You All.

    What a special lady Jonnie was. I only knew for a few years but developed a bond with her instantly. She was such compassionate and positive human being. I will never forget her.
