Sorry to hear about Mrs. Jean’s passing.
She has bid this ole world goodbye and now is forever in Heaven.
I saw her at Greer Campmeeting a couple of weeks ago. She loved Campmeeting.
We will see her again and maybe soon.
Praying for the family at this time.
My heartfelt Condolences to all Family and friends; on the passing of our sweet Sister Jean.
She was my sister in the Lord, my buddy to laugh with, and my stepping stone in time of need and prayer.
I am so humbled to have been blessed to have been a small but so wonderful part of this amazing lady’s life.
One day we shall never have to say goodbye.
Sorry for your loss. I never personally knew Mrs. Emily, but I worked with her and she always had a smile on her face and a friendly wave every time I saw her.
Sorry for your loss. I am a good friend of Bob and Nancy.
We loved Mrs.Jean and her sister, Peggy. I loved seeing her singing in the choir at First Baptist . She will be missed until we meet again in heaven . Prayers for the Lord to give comfort to the family.
So sorry to hear of her passing. I would see her a lot at the beauty salon and out and about and thought the world of her. Heaven has another precious angel. Phyllis Willis
