We are so sorry for the loose of your mom and grandma. Jean was such a sweet person. We always enjoyed it when we could visiut her at the Crossings, and later on in Moore and then Epworth. The world is a much lonelier place without her. I think the hardest part of losing someone isn't having to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them, always trying to fill the void, the emptiness that's in your heart when they go. May God give you all the peace and comfort that only He can give!!
