Jean always made me feel so special at church. A group of ladies, mostly widows, sat in the back row where I entered the sanctuary. I always got the warmest, sweetest hugs ever. And all the more, Jean never missed my birthday, Easter, Christmas, Valentine etc with beautiful cards. I truly treasure these memories. I should have been as thoughtful to her and other friends! From the Power Board until I could no longer get to church, one of the nicest ladies I´ve had the pleasure to know. Rest In Peace my friend.
