So sorry to hear of Jean's passing. She was a longtime friend and Classmate from Villa Rica High School, Class of 1964. Deepest condolences to the entire Sauls and Harper families. Bob, Terry, and Sheila we're thinking of you and praying that God's hand is on your shoulder as you grieve your wonderful sister.

Jean was one of the nicest and most compassionate people I have known. She always wanted to help her co-workers even if it meant staying late or coming in on her off days. She was all about fairness and doing the right thing. I always enjoyed sitting down with her to talk about my family and hers. I know her family is extremely proud of this dear lady. I shall miss her!
