To Mr. Duke and family,
My prayers are with you especially during this time of sorrow. Aunt Jean was a very special friend to my mom and dad and to me and my brother. Aunt Jean and Uncle Ollie and My parents have a lot of memories together. I have known Aunt Jean ever since I was a baby and as I grew up and had a family of my own we still continued to talk to one another from time to time. I will miss talking to her but I will especially miss her smile and hearing her laugh. Aunt Jean will always hold a special place in my heart. I know that she is a special guardian angel and will be watching over you and your family. God Bless
