Our love to you, in the passing of “Auntie Jean”. She taught me many life lessons as I was growing up. She showed me the meaning of devotion to family and friends. Even though the miles separated my Mom and her, they remained close. I am confident that they are now together laughing and playing crib once more.
Rest in peace Ms. Margaret Jean. You raised wonderful children
I was so sorry to hear that Ms. Margaret Jean was no longer with us. Extending my deepest condolences to her family over your loss. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” – Psalms 23. “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live… Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe…” May your precious memories and the wonderful promise of the resurrection bring you peace. Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 1:2; John 11: 23-25.
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Jean. Our love and affection go out to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We were fortunate and blessed to have her experience the peace and tranquility of our beach home on several occasions with her daughter Darlene. Rest in peace Jean.
