Dear Keith & Overholt Family:

Aunt Jean was a very special woman to me and I loved her just like a second Mother. She and I had alot of laughs together and I prayed with her many times over the phone. We will never understand why she had to leave this heart except God had a wonderful plan for her in Heaven. We never know when something like this will happen to us, but this is a time that family needs to come together as Aunt Jean would have wanted her children to do and support one another. May all you child hood memories confort you during this hard time, but alway remember Aunt Jean will always be in our hearts and soul.
I know it is very hard to give up your Mother, because it has been 4 months since Mother passing, but it seems like yesterday.
May God Bless Each One of You and continue to Love One Another.

Love,
Vicky Mathis Deaton
Your Cousin
