Brent and family, I’m sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. I remember riding with her on the school bus many years ago, and was thrilled when I was invited to ride her pony! Unfortunately we never kept in touch very much since then. Happy to hear of her talents of cake decorating and flower arranging. May you find comfort in faith and happy memories.

Brenda Morgan
Brent and your boys and their families,, I am so sorry to read about Jean’s passing. What a wonderful woman she was,, very few people had the get up and go that she had. When I worked with her, she never seemed to walk, she was always next thing to a slow run,,, always in a hurry to get her work finished, and on to the next chore that needed doing. But I seldom saw Jean without a smile, and she had such an up beat attitude.. I know these past years have been tough on all of you, watching the Jean you knew fade away,,, and I am sure that you are relieved now to know that she is free of all of the health issues that she was dealing with, and will now be back to herself, in the hands of her Lord. I am thinking of you all,, losing a loved one is so emotionally devastating.. hugs..
