What a wonderful saint in the Lord! Miss Jean was a beautiful lady of grace and joy. She made everyone she came in contact with feel special and important because her keen mind remembered details about them and she really wanted others to know she cared for them. From the first meeting, you could tell that she loved Jesus. What a jouyous reunion she’s having with her Savior and her loved ones. May her children and family be comforted in the knowledge that she lived well, and is very much alive, home with her Lord. Thank you Miss Jean for your sweet life.
