Dear Ms. Pat and Family,
My sister (Debra Massey) and I was so sad to hear about Ms. Jeans passing.We are going to miss her so much. Our mother, Joyce, was so Blessed to have Ms. Jean in her life. We feel as if God had sent a "Guardian Angel" to watch over our Mother. We enjoyed our visits every week and on Sundays as she would laugh and talk with us and encourage Mother to eat. She was like a part or our family. Ms. Jean was a sweet, loving, and caring person. Ms. Pat we have watched you with admiration as you've faced difficulty with Strength and Courage, and even in those times when you may have wanted to give up, like you Mother, you somehow found it in yourself to carry on...and we just know you'll continue to do so. For like Ms. Jean, You're a "Remarkable" person. Even though this may be a difficult road to travel, be sure to look along the side from time to time. The ones you will see there, the ones who will be cheering you on... Will be GOD and your Presious Mother...
God Bless and Comfort
you Always

Patty Hudson, Debra Massey, &
