“Gracious” is the word that comes to mind when I think of Jean. I will also remember her for her faith, her love for her family, and for her compassion.
My prayer for the family is Matthew 5:4.
Carla, Jack, and Cindy. I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was so special. She always made everyone smile. Seriously, you could not be in the room with her for more than 30 seconds and you were smiling. I loved her laugh and how she always made you feel at home. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed by so many. I picture her playing Bridge now with the other ladies that have gone before her and laughing. You were truly blessed to have this lady as your mother. Be comforted by the memories she leaves and the love that you shared.
