Dear David and Family, My heart is so filled with sorrow from the lose of Jean. She was truly an Angel on Earth. She never met a stranger. Her heart was always full of Love for everyone. She loved her Family more than anyone and the Family loved her also. She was always a bright light to everyone who knew her. I met her when I was in the Taylor Family. I have always loved her. She was one of the Strongest People I've ever known. Praying for Uncle David and the whole Family for the lose of a Great Lady that I will NEVER forget. I thank God she will not be in any pain anymore. Aunt Jean, you will NEVER be forgotten because you were and always will be unforgettable. I love you Uncle David and Family ❤

Jean and I had a lot of laughs and a lot of good times. I met her in the 70's and we could get into all kinds of things. We had a ball. I've only seen her a few times over the years but I think about her all the time. God bless all the family.

Jean was such an amazing Woman. Her love of the Lord was unwavering. She experienced so much adversity in her life yet she always had more concern for others and was generous and forgiving, I loved, admired and respected her my entire life. She will always be with me in my heart and I will see her again in Heaven. Sorry for your loss David and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
