Many prayers to everyone for such a dear lady, and aunt to me. May she rest in peace with all of our family who has gone before her. Rejoice in her memory. Love to all
Aunt Jean will be missed. I remember her bringing me home charms for my bracelet from her many travels when I was a kid. I still have that bracelet and think of her every time I put it on. Aunt Jean was a sweetheart and a wonderful roll model. She always picked herself up and went on with her life. She has touched many many people and our future generations with all her genealogy work. I know you are in Heaven Aunt Jean, so please give Grandma and Grandpa a hug. Tell Enoch that we still have hopes of finding him somewhere in our research and please give my Daddy a huge kiss from me!
Aunt Jean was my God mother and always sent me birthday cards every year on my birthday. I know her, Uncle Ches, Aunt Mary and my mom are together once again in heaven.
