My family and I am so sorry to hear for your loss please accept our condolences. Me and my family are so sad to hear about Jean. I pray one day soon we will get to experience no more death in this world because it is not supposed to be that way Adam and Eve was supposed to live forever and extend that gift to all there children, the Bible gives us hope that it will soon be that way again. Please never lose that hope Rev. 21:3,4
Always a kind word
John, Kim and Jeff:
Cindy and I are sorry for your loss
Your Mother always had a kind word to say, no matter what was happening or no matter whom she spoke too, but she also knew the word. She always knew how to tell you if you did something wrong, but in a kindly way. She was a host, that when we visited she would always offer a tea and other refreshments. She was a Godly woman and there is no doubt she is together with your Dad, Rev: Cummings.
A Good and Gentle Soul
We, at Caring Hospice, will miss Jean. We loved her kind and gentle spirit who brightened our lives.
