Jean was always so nice to my wife and I. She was nice to chat with at family events. She definitely loved her granddaughters. May the Lord bless and keep her in his house. May Vern and his family know that they are truly loved. May teller happy memories abide with them for eternity.

Love Sherry, Dan, Devin, and Arin
