So the other day I was remembering all the games you and I would always play; concentration, war, rummy, parcheesi, sequence, clue, gin rummy, crazy 8's, and even more. I loved watching you and Itty bitty' PawPaw have bridge days where all your friends came over and y'all had multiple tables set up in every room downstairs, with little sandwiches and adult' drinks in the Early afternoon; which I found absolutely fantastic. You gave me so many wonderful memories which I will carry with me for a lifetime. I miss you every minute of everyday Big' Grandma and love you even more. I'm sad you now have more of our family with you, but have faith you are taking care of them just as you always did. I love you!

To first and foremost a wonderful friend and second mother to me. From the day I met her until she ended her journey here, Jean always saw the good in all and found a way to brighten your life in any situation,always thinking of others. We will miss her dearly but know she is with many friends and family running on the beach in a beautiful place while still keeping an eye on all of us! We love you very much and will always keep you in our hearts and talk to you often. Love always Jayne
