I'm sure you all miss Jean deeply. I hope that the love and prayers said for each of you has brought some measure of comfort. I'm sure that being the person she was, she would not want you to grieve for her but celebrate her life and all the life lessons she bestowed on each of you. Jim, Ginny and Terri, you were blessed with her presence for 80 years. Keep her memory alive in your hearts forever. Love, Ann

Jim,Ginny,and Terri I am so sorry to hear about Jeans passing.However, I didn't know about it until this evening, or I would have been to the memorial service. I feel a great loss,because as you all know I thought a lot of her,even though we had lost contact with each other through these past years. My heart goes out to all of you. I know how painful it is to lose someone one you love so much. I lost my oldest son in 2001,and my mom in2015. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

So sorry for your loss. My Heart goes out to the entire family. In the Book of Psalms there is a great verse that helped me. " God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
