Remembrances |

“She was my first boyfriend's mother. I am shocked and saddened that she died at Jonestown. ” - maureen manrique “Rocky and her family attended our church in Fremont before her family split up and she went off with her younger kids to live with Jim Jones in Redwood. She was artistic, funny and sort of bohemian, she really stood out at our conformist, suburban church. She taught our youth group how to make hard candy and candles which we sold at fundraisers. I cannot comprehend how such a unique individual came under the spell of Jones and why she took her kids along as well to die in Guyana. ” - Kent Kavasch“ Lois Breidenbach: A Son’s Memories” - Harlan Breidenbach“I remember Mrs. Breidenbach as she was the Sunday school superintendent at the Irvington Assembly of God in Fremont where I attended as a child. I have always wondered how she could have gone from that to the Peoples Temple but reading her son's tribute I see that she was always a seeker. So very sad...” - Anonymous |
