Jean.
I met you, before "Experiencing God" ...remember that study? One of my firsts. You always stood so solid, unwavering, faithful. You loved me, when I didn't love myself. You were so kind. You taught me, when I did not want to learn! You were so wise.
You showed up for me; You lead by such a strong and beautiful example, that I could only hope, to follow.
Oh, how we love you. How we will miss you.
I will be glad for you, for I know, that you are Home. So. Much. Love.
Stephanie, and the Olson guys.
