Aunt Jean was always SO SWEET to all of us ... back when we were kids she was joyful and kind, and even when I'd seen her in the last few years she was still sweet and kind. Now she's with Gwennie and their mom, and my mom too, and all is good for all of them.

Sincerest condolences to all of her close family.

You never said "I'm Leaving,"
You never said "Good Bye"
You were gone before we knew it,
ANd only God knows why.
A million times we'll need you,
A million tears we'll cry.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
That no one else can fill.
It broke our hearts to loose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For apart of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

I hope you are finally at peace and enjoying the big boat in the sky with Dad. You will truly be missed. Love you Granny!
