Elwood and Family: My deepest sympathy in the loss of Jean. I have many fond memories of our days at TUMC singing in the choir especially at this time of the year when we would be practicing and singing Christmas music. May God be with you during this difficult time. Love and prayers, Claudia Hoffman Carnes
