Dear Bressman Family:

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. I had the pleasure of teaching Sunday School with Jean for many years at Trinity and learned so much from her. Both of my daughters were fortunate enough to have had the famous "Mrs. Bressman" has their teacher at Trinity and have very fond memories of her and the many songs she taught them. We will miss her so much.

She impacted hundreds of young lives during her time at Trinity. I can recall days when the weather was so bad that most teachers (and students) stayed home on a Sunday morning, but not Jean. She'd show up just to be sure there was someone there to work with the kids. She was an amazing woman who gave 150% of herself to others.

Blessings,

Barbara Waceldorf

She was so much like our Mother. Beautiful, graceful and loving in every way. Know that she is taken care of in the loving arms of the Lord. The families of Marcia Blaine and friend Deb Grove; Park and Kathi Blaine; Linda and John Ottis; Barbara, Randy and Rosemary Wacheldorf.

Dear Bressman Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Jean was a wonderful Christian who cared about others and was always there to help. I taught Sunday School with her at Trinity and learned so much from her over the years. She was so proud of her family, especially her grandchildren. May God be with you all during this time.

To all
My prayers are with each of you. I knew your mom and dad when I attended Trinity Luthern Church through my high school years. I now live across the street from you moms house on Fairway Dr. Your mom was always a bright spot in our lives. Our children would ride their bikes around the driveway loop but she never minded. Again my thoughts and prayers will be with you in your time of sorrow.
