I will miss one of my oldest and dearest friends. Such sweet memories of laughter and fun times. She took a piece of my heart with her.

It has been awhile since I have seen Jean but she will always hold a special place in my heart. Jean was always there with a hug, encouragement and love. She will be missed here on earth but she most certainly earned a spot in a mansion in Glory! <3 love to each and every member of her family and a special hug for Jay! Thank you both for being a blessing to me and my family
Love always and forever
.....Robin Kyek and family!
