So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he 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".

Tom,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Jean was a lovely addition to the Taylor family and she will be missed by each of us. I will continue to remember not only Jean but you and all who mourn her passing when I offer-up my prayers. Perhaps there will be comfort for you in the knowledge that so many others are thinking of you right now.

To all family and friends...I wish to express my sincere condolences for the passing of Jean. I knew Jean from growing up in Drasco and she always had a huge smile and hug for me when I would see her. She was just a beautiful soul.

My sweet Jean I never dreamed I would have to say goodbye to my heart sister. So many hours, days, years spent side by side-by-side you were my family and will always remain my sister. You take a little light from the world as you go. As I sit on this lake I will think of you every day and all the memories made in this place. We will miss your laughter so very much sweetie. I love you and will miss you so. Rest easy on that Misty Mountain baby girl we'll along shortly. God love you and hold you close.

We were shocked when we heard the horrible news she was always so friendly at Kroger and so funny. She will be missed by many. We will continue to pray for comfort and pease and understanding for her family and friends.

This just breaks my heart. Jean was always so outgoing. She always knew how to light up the store. She was the best cashier there was and the best trainer in town. She always knew how to put a smile on my face.

I worked with her at Kroger is was a great person and she was great with people she will be missed

Jean, I hope you are feeding the multitudes girlfriend, you can cook as long as you want and anything you want. You had a big heart for everyone you met, never did you meet a stranger. You went above and beyond to do you job at Kroger. Tom, I am so sorry for your loss, Jean will be missed by many.

Rest in peace sweet lady. You will be missed greatly.

Prayers for all u family members. I will miss morning talks with Jean at Kroger. She was always so cheerful and vibrant. Loved to talk about cooking.

So sorry to hear of Jean's passing. Jean always went out of her way to be so helpful to anyone who needed anything. I have missed seeing and talking to her at Kroger. Prayers for all of the family. RIP Jean.

Prayers sent to you all, Jean and I worked together at Safeway /Harvest Food's. Lot's of sweet and funny memories. I can see her smiling now and that disbelief in her eyes then the laugh after she realize you were joking with her. I know she's having so much fun in Heaven!

Jean made it a pleasure to go to Krogers. She asked me one time why I was always happy when I came to the store, and it was because of her. I will miss her, I hope she is in heaven putting smile on everyones face she meets up there too. May God be with you during this sad time, I mourn with you. Though I never saw her anywhere but a Krogers I considered her a friend. I will be thinking of you and praying God will make your loss a little easier as time goes by.
