I was sad to hear of Jean's death. She was always so cheerful and kind and uplifting. My parents were very fond of her and I was deeply appreciative of her help. I saw Jean in August and she told me of plans for her family to be with her and care for her at the end. If anyone deserved that, Jean did, for she truly earned it. Her faith was strong; she is at peace. My prayers go out to all of her family. May the angels lead her to paradise!
