I am so sorry to read of the passing of Jean. I didn't know her, but have heard nice things of her and wish I had known her. I am a descendent of the Mayflower Tilley's and feel we may have been related. My sincere sympathy to the entire family. My prayers are with you all.

I pray that your hearts will be comforted at this time of sorrow with the knowing that she is safe in the arms of Jesus. Our loss is Heaven's gain. She has entered into the JOY of the Lord and her work on earth is now complete. May each of you remember her with much love and honor for the wonderful lady she was.
