We will always remember Aunt Jean for her sweet smile and continual interest in our family matters even in Alabama. We are grateful for her correspondence, birthday cards, and prayers over the years. We are comforted in knowing she is in the presence of our Lord today. She was a dear aunt to us. We are glad we got to visit with her a couple of years ago.

We first met Jean and Don when they brought their children to First Baptist Church Merritt Island's nursery where Gordon and I were working around 1960. Throughout their lives they both exemplified what it means to be a Christian in their faithful attendance and service to the Lord through our church. We are sad at her passing but KNOW that she is now with Don and the Lord and that we will all have a reunion in heaven some day.

Jean was such a loving person. She accepted me into the family with open arms when I moved here with my husband, Joe. I admired her so much for her loving ways and concern for everyone she knew. She will be missed by so many people. May her family and friends be blessed with many fond memories.

Jean was such a beautiful Lady. She was always so wonderful to me. She, along with Mary Anne Feldhauser, always reminded me I was so special as Jackie and Audrey Denney's daughter. Something that most people have forgotten. I will truly miss her. Love and prayers for all her family and friends!
