    Jean was a kind, gentle lady who loved JESUS and people. She taught my children in Sunday School about our loving Savior. Sam, her son, worked for us on the farm. Hus work ethic and personality were a testimony to the way he was raised. JEAN was a superb parent. Whenever I took home communion to Jean, she was always very positive in her outlook on life. Jean was easy to love.

    Sally, Katelyn and Patrick, please accept my condolences on the loss of your Mother and grandmother. I remember her vividly at all the events at CPE, that you kids were involved in, but especially Grandparents Day. It was so obvious how much she enjoyed you grandkids. Enjoy your memories, as you will always have them.
