As I’m holding your hand, I’m saddened by your passing. Mom, you touched the lives of many with your kindness, love, and especially your unwavering strength. As we mourn your loss, I’ll remember the cherished moments we shared and the legacy you left behind. Your spirit will continue to shine brightly in my heart, and your memory will continue to inspire me to live my life with the same grace and compassion you showed me throughout the years. I’m a lucky lady to have had you as my mother. Save me a seat in heaven as one day we will be together again. I love you ❤️

Jean was never anything but kind. She always encouraged me and uplifted me, even when in such pain herself. The years Eldon suffered with diabetes and heart attacks, she prayed for us and with us, strengthening me to keep going. I know where she's gone! And I know I will see her again! She will hug me again and say, see, I knew you could do it!
