Jean Burns was a wonderful and loving person. Jean was one of my spiritual sisters. My wife Mary and I knew Jean and her dear husband George for many years. They were both such a spiritual encouragement to Mary and me. We loved them and will miss them. George and Jean along with my wife Mary are in Jehovah's memory, the safest place to be for he will remember them and bring them back to all of us in the resurrection. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of them family. It will not be long, and we will all see them again in perfect health.
Love,
Your Brother Jeff Cooke
