Dear Seth & Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences over your Mom's home-going. Jean will always hold a special place in my heart. We met in Kijabe, Kenya. She was my mentor, friend, and a prayer partner! I treasured the afternoons we met because your Mom poured words of wisdom into my life. I loved your Mom's laugh, and her birthday parties for your Dad. She played her ancient accordion and led their guests into a rousing rendition of " Jambo Bwana" as we pounded our spoon against our pan. Your Mom knew how to create FUN and LAUGHTER!
