Jean was a Wonderful friend to my parent's Bob and Norma Clark! Jean and Harry enjoyed spending time, playing cards, and going to Bible Study at Queen's with my Mom and Dad. I would always enjoy seeing her when we would come into town and see them at Queen's church. Jean and Harry were always so friendly and had big smiles on their faces! I am sorry for your loss, Mr. Wolverton and to all the family. You are in my thoughts and prayer at this difficult time. God Bless You!
