    May the Lord keep you all in the palm of His hand, I had tried for many years to find Jean because we went to grade school together. I will now see her when I see the Lord as she is doing now. Gods Blessing be with you all.

    Warmest condolences to the family. I lived in the old neighborhood and was in gymnastics at Turners and been down to the camp for track etc.. years back.

    May you find consolation in all of your memories and knowing she’s in a better place.

    We will miss your laughter and love. We know you are fishing with Kenny, having a beer, a smoke and a laugh. Heaven’s a little brighter now that you are there. Will miss you and look forward to the time we can all be together again.
