Gil and Susan:
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I have such wonderful memories of Jean, and I just wished I could have seen her more over the past few years. Susan, growing up with you brings to mind such fun memories of her. I just remember her always smiling at us as she watched us play barbies, jax, board games, etc. I will remember her always, and I know you and your dad will always keep her close in your heart.
Dear Gil and Family,
Jean was an important and long-standing member of Covington Aglow; that is where I met her. She enjoyed worshipping and praising God. We all loved the times we could gather together, either in a formal meeting or at a home fellowship or retreat. There is something special about God's daughters gathering together, and we all enjoyed those times. We will miss her smile and her love.
Today's service was perfect and was a wonderful reminder that all who have received Christ as Saviour and remain faithful to do His will will some day see Jesus.
Dear Gill and Family, our deepest symphy, to you and your family, for the loss of Jean, our prayers are with you and yours.

Dear Gil and Susan:
We were so sorry to hear of Jean's passing. It had been a couple of years since we had exchanged Christmas cards and phone calls and didn't know how she was. She always kept us up-to-date and Susan and the kids at Christmastime.
I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her---she's the one who taught me to hug!!! She was a great hugger!! Being from the North we were a little more reserved, but Jean got me over it with her openness and loving hugs for everyone she met.
I wish we could get over there for the services, but with work it will be impossible to break away for long enough to make it across the lake. Know that you all will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow and in the days to come.
Love, Lee and Carol Emmert Leanne and Michael
It has been so long since I have seen you all. I am so sorry for your loss and will pray for God's peace and comfort to be a very presence to you at this time. I have such great childhood memories of spending time with you all and how kind and loving you all were to me. God is good! He has led me through many trials and I know He will be faithful to bring you through this.
Tho unable to attend my thoughts and prayers are with you in expressing my deepest sympathy.
All of us think of you often and remember the good times. You were all a vital part of Faith Cumberland Presbyterian Church and Jean was specail to all of us.
We love you and will miss you so much, Jean. I am so grateful for your counsel and mentorship. As Abigail, your baby says, "You are in good hands now." Love, Anita, Brett, Hannah and Abigail Gaudet
Dear Gil and Susan, Beloved husband and daughter of my friend and sister in Christ. I have the privilege to have known Jean for over twenty years through Women Aglow Fellowship. We first met when I led an Aglow Bible study Jean attended. Jean's always-present, bright smile was an expression of the beauty of her heart. I know that you know her intimately as wife and mother and grandmother, and mother-in-law, and I just want to give you a glimpse of what she has meant to me. Her love, delight in, and devotion to all of you was well known by all of us, and could only be exceeded by her love and devotion for her Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. She served us in more ways than I can count here. She was a friend to everyone and could always be counted on to minister to anyone in need, through prayer and practical deeds. She baked cakes and gave gifts for our birhdays, she was our historian and maintained a beautiful photo album of all our events together. She was soft and exceedingly kind. I will continue to miss Jean, but I know she is in the Presence of Her Lord, Jesus, where there is no pain, only Joy. I know the best way I can honor Jean is to keep her family in prayer that God will comfort and sustain you in this time of loss, and bless all of you everafter. Sincerely, Rose Bryan
