Jean was a wonderful mother ,grandmother, and friend, she will be missed dearly by her family.
She was a person that would give you her shirt if she knew you needed it. She was like a mother to me,and I will never forget this lady…
Jerry and family our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. She was a lovely lady and will be missed by all.
She would say what in the world after crystal and I would tell her a story. Sometimes she would laugh and sometimes she would state ” I don’t know what’s gotten into you girls. I ask that we keep Jimmy and Jerry in our prayers. I’ll love you forever and ever. Truly a blessing to many people as her kindness touched many hearts.
