I am a volunteer at Elim Park and serve the residents of their nursing home in the dining room. Your Mother was a very sweet lady and we had many great conversations as she had her lunch. On occasion I would bring in home made cookies and her face would always light up when I offered her one. I will miss her. My sympathy and prayers are with you and your family.
Condolences to all the family left behind. What a beautiful woman, who raised a wonderful daughter, that is her extraordinary legacy. Until you meet again in heaven with your Heavenly Father…
We are so sorry to see this. Jean was a second mother to me and a second grandmother to my kids. She and Art were wonderful people. Hugs and prayers to her family.
