Sorry to hear of your loss. Jean was a wonderful lady in every sense of the word. She was a constant figure in every sunday school session, church supper, church service, holiday concert, sunday school picnic, etc. that I took part in. She was dedicated and kind. I am sure many people have memories of her beautiful voice, she is singing with the angels now.

When we visited Jean on Thursday she still had a bit of her “spunk” that we loved so much. She was always cheerful and given to laughter, and we had a few laughs then too. We will miss her smiling face and laughter. I’m so glad we were able to have that last visit together. Our love and deep sympathy to you Donald. Jane and Don & Mary, your mom was a real inspiration.
We are so sorry for your loss.
