Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss, may your hearts find comfort in knowing that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ love us – John 3:16; Psalms 83:18. In Bible times, the Shunammite woman leaped for joy when her loved one was resurrected to life again on earth -2Kings 4:32-37, and when Lazarus was resurrected by Jesus Christ, no doubt Lazarus sisters Mary and Martha leaped for joy – John 11: 43, 44. We too, one day soon, will leap for joy when we are reunited with our loved ones again here on earth and no resident will say: I am sick -John 5:28, 29; Psalms 37:11 29; Isaiah 33:24

  2. Dwayne, Kevin, and Debbie, I know that your mother will be truly missed by all of those that had the honor of knowing her. I will always cherish the memories of our childhood with our mothers on Cherry Street. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May find strength in your faith and know that Jean is resting in her father’s arms.

  3. May God rest her soul in peace and comfort those remaining loved ones here on this earth at this time. She was a wonderful lady and I sincerely send my deepest sympathy for the family. Debi & Bobby may He give you strength in your time of need. God Bless you all.

  4. Kevin,Tina,Dwayne,Kim,Deb and family. I am sorry to hear of your lose. My thought and prayers are with you all.
