Mom, they say losing you will get easier with time......SOMEBODY LIED!!! This ALL seems like a nightmare that I can't wake-up from!!! There were so many things I had yet to learn from you (like making your dressing or living life without you).
I sincerely hope that you are now at peace and enjoying Heaven (and not starting chaos). If nothing else, I know you are talking TALL crap now that the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears and in turn are heading to the Super Bowl. It will be hard to watch the game without you on the other end of my phone (URGH)!!!
I love & miss you much!!!
Your baby, Marty

Jean, I will miss you saying, Hey where you at or what you doing? I could never call you or my boys, during a game on TV, but I would after the commercial or when the game was really good, and I'd say what you doing, and laugh because I already knew. You always answered the phone to
talk to me even if I called 10 times in a day. Guess what Green bay won today, I can hear you screaming now. Your grandson Kris watched the game with us. Oh, I miss talking to you. Love you...

Jean, another day is about to end and I'm finding it really hard to believe you're gone. I miss being there with our family and friends today. I pray that my nieces will stay in touch with me because they're all I have left of you. I miss you so much, talking to you all the time. Oh, GreenBay is playing Atlanta tonite, you would be watching the game, but you have no more pain and you're in Heaven now. I WANT YOU TO KNOW I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOUR GIRLS, ALWAYS. Bye for now.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you all as you grieve.
I'll never forget the last conversation I had with my sister...we shared memories from our past and expressed our love for one another. I'm so glad we were able to have that conversation. Thats all that matters.
To my sister Sherry...holding you all up in our prayers. We love you.
P.S. The condolence message yesterday from your family John, Vicki and Euzetta accidentally excluded Johns wife, Renta Fitzgerald. My apologizes.

CONDOLENCES TO OUR SISTERS FAMILY from John Fitzgerald (brother) Peoria, IL, Vickie Alexander (sister) Peoria, IL and Euzetta Durflinger (sister) Louisville, KY. Sorry that we were unable to attend our sisters funeral, we are holding you all up in our prayers. God Bless.
In loving memory of our sister Jean, we are sending this poem below:
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jean my big sister, when you left a part of me went with you. I hurt deep inside because I wasn't with you in your last days. I thank GOD, You heard me on the telephone saying good-bye and that I love you and I'll see you again.I am so glad we spent time together in June & July, we shared alot. Jean, there would be times when I couldn't remember someone's name in Peoria, and you would know. I miss you so much and it's only been a short time. Love you (Sista) our secret word.

Mrs Kimberly, hold your head high, be still while the Lord does his work. Mom has received her crown, as GOD-has called an angel home. MATTHEW 5:4-Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. God bless, Charles Willingham.

Mimi it seems like saying you will be missed is just so inadequate and shallow because you were much more than a mother-in-law. There were times I felt like your "SON" and there was a good reason for that: you became what I needed at that time. Your quick wit and spot-on insight belied your years on this earth, which was way too brief. I am a better person having known you and honored to call you a in-law. There were times, I admit you seemed too concerned in my affairs but I only had to imply that and you would remind me that I am married to your daughter so you have a right! That's the kind of person you were honest as well as caring,funny as well as factual and Conscientious as much as compassionate. Thanks Mimi, you will be remembered lovingly because of your strong presence and fondly because of tenderness.

Well Aunt Jean it took me a while to be able to get here. This mean that this would be the last thing that I thought I would be doing. That is writing something about you to let people know how you were to me. Growing up and spending the nights with you and my cousins, and remembering how strong of a woman you were, are memories that I will never forget. You didn't take no mess from no one. I miss you already and I love you too Aunt Jean. Tony (nephew)
Opps, the first entry was an error.

A memory that I share with my Aunt Jean is the time she came out to Las Vegas to watch me play in a basketball game. I will never forget how much of a sports fanatic she was. Aunt Jean loved to watch any sport and if someone close to her was playing she would go out of her way to watch the game and support them. During the time when March Madness is going on she would call me and ask if I was watching and tell me that I'll be out there one day. If that was to happen I know she'll be one of the first to try to get a ticket so that she could watch. My Aunt Jean will be dearly missed and she'll always be in my prayers. Love you Aunt Jean from your Great-Nephew Chris.

Aunt Jean-
I miss you more than words can say. You were a very brave woman and your live for today perspective helped me with some of the major decisions in my life. You were more than an aunt you were a confidant and a friend. You were the "Big Mama" of our family.
Love you

To My Aunt Jean
I can remember when you came to visit in Atlanta and stayed with me and told me you didn't like my motion light switch in the guest bedroom because everytime you rolled over the #*&$#@ Damn light came on. I had to change that light before you went to sleep the next night. I am going to miss return trips to the store because you drink Pepsi and only Pepsi. Aunt Jean I have so many great funny memories. I'll miss you love your nephew Todd or as you called me Toddie.

Aunt Jean
And I feel very comfortable saying Aunt Jean. You treated me like family. You made me feel welcomed and loved from the very beginning. I remind myself every winter day that I am not so cute that I can't wear stockings (smile). We love you as we told you many times before and you will always remain in our hearts.
Marty, Kim & Cherie
All of you are in our prayers.

The Bible says, “to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord”. Jean there are so many things I will miss about you, like your calls asking for my grandbaby(London) as well as your weekly ritual for soup at Mykonos. You had a presence that could bring laughter, anger, and joy. But most of all you had Love for Family. You may be Gone, but you will Never be Forgotten: Rest in Peace. Love your niece.
January 1, 2011
Mimi your presence will be sorely missed. Your candor and spot-on advise was the best. You gave me the feeling that you did care,I for one am going to miss your overall involvement in sports whether it was the Packers or Bucks or whatever, you were always on top of the action and made sure I was aware of the score or what channel the game was on and am I watching it. The world is a little sadder place without you Mimi,your beloved son-in-law Kahvyn.

Ms. MeMe,
I will never forget your fiestiness. You were like my local mother. I will surely miss your drop-in on Sundays for collard greens, while searching for your daughter Cheri. You brought joy and laughter (unfiltered) to my life for many years. Rest in Peace - Marilyn Francis

Aunt Jean, I'm going to miss talking about the basketball and football games with you on the phone. Especially with "March Madness" around the corner. I will definately miss your bold and blount comments because we know that can't nobody say it like you. I'm so glad you were able to come and pay us a visit. Your sister may not have told you but she was excited that you finally came to visit her in Houston. I love you and you will definately be missed, Crystal.
