Jose and I are so sorry for Anna, Gary and the family. I know they will miss Jean so much and so will we. She was too cute and so peppy. Her smile was warm and gracious. As soon as we walked into church, there she was. Dressed perfectly with her beautiful white hair and pretty nails. But oh how glorious she must be now, resting in peace. As a Disciple of Christ, she is assured of her salvation. We are inspired by her life and will truly miss her.

She was the best grandma I’ve ever had. She was amazing and my number one Nanny. You were everything to me. I wouldn’t be who I am if it wasn’t for you or papa. I love you so much ♥️♥️♥️

When I think of Ms. Jean, my mind’s eye blesses me with an image of her sweet smile, kind eyes and gentle voice. I will hold fond memories of Ms. Jean in my heart until we meet again …
