I know that Jean is enjoying her homecoming with Joe right now. They were such a sweet couple. Darlene, Brandy, Drew, Heath, and Sam, please know that although there is sadness, Jean is not sad at all. She leaves behind a wonderful family, and it makes her very proud. Prayers to you all.

Oh, Darlene, I am sad to see your mother is physically gone, but I know she will be in your heart forever. Each post I see on Facebook refreshes the sadness we all felt when Tollie was gone. You are a strong example for all the rest of us. May you have deep, inner peace.
Love from fellow classmate,

As we go through life we realize how important relationships are and those who touch our lives during the journey of life. I and so many others are fortunate to have Jean touch our lives and the honor of knowing her. It is very sad for Jean not to be with us physically anymore. I know that Jean and Joe are now smilingly down on us. Thinking of you guys, Darlene, Andy, Drew and Brandy. I hope that you’ll are able to celebrate Jean’s life. Praying for you guys. Love you!!

My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
