To all the Rexroat Family, I am sorry to hear of Ron's death. I have great childhood memories of Ronnie, Harold, Joyce, Joane, and Jimmie, as well as Helen and Enoch. It was a treat to go out to Highway 6 near Kellogg and visit with your family at the cafe. There were so many fun places to play on your property! Remember the Russell Family reunions? (Your gr'ma Zelpha Russell McWhirter and my gr'ma Lila Russell Frizzell were 1st cousins.) I'm sorry we've lost touch as adults. My prayers are with all of you. .... Ruthi
