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.
So sorry for our loss, She was a wonderful funny woman.
Higs and prayers!
Saddened by the loss of a loving wife, mom, family member, friend, and community servant. She will be missed. RIP.
We were so sorry to hear about Jonnie. She was such a fun and happy person to be around. We enjoyed the times together at Luke and Yvonne’s. Our thoughts and prayers are with 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.
