Jean and Don took us under their wings when we first attended Clifton Ave. Church. They welcomed us into their home and included us in their family dinners. We have many great memories of our time with them at the campgrounds. Jean was a fabulous cook and had a sweet joyous nature. She took care of our youngest son when I returned to teaching. She was great with children. We lost touch with Jean and Don through the years but
they will always have a special place in our hearts. They had a love of Christ they shared through their love and kindness to others.
We are thankful God sent them our way.

I can't begin to imagine how we're going to continue without her. She was the backbone for this family. I'm so fortunate that God allowed me to have the time I did with her and even more grateful the time she gave to my children, the lessons she taught them and the love for God that she shared with us all! She will be so missed by so many but I rest easy knowing that she's in heaven where she's worked her entire life to be and back in the arms of her "Lil Fella", Grandpa. She is now gone, but she will never, ever be forgotten!

Jean Greiner was one of the most gentle souls I have ever known. She was sweet and kind and we love her dearly. It's hard to imagine her and her "little fella" Don are now gone. But the joy is that we will see her again! I loved her voice. She so loved her church and everyone she knew. I know how close this family is, and the pain your are experiencing. You are in our prayers. May God bless each of you with the faith your parents and grandparents had!
