Jean, I grew to love you as a beautiful sister in Christ. Your heart for others was quickly apparent. I will always remember you asking about my son's health even as you struggled with your own health issues. All who knew you are been richly blessed. Knowing we will be reunited in God's glorious eternal home brings me peace and joy. I will pray for that same peace and joy to comfort your entire family.

Michael Andrew and families, Ed I’m sorry for your loss, may God give you all strength during this most difficult time. I loved Jean - she was an excellent nurse my children now grown with families remember her well. She had patience of a saint, she inspired my daughter to be a nurse. Her cooking was delicious and the Warren Medical Center and Forks Medical Center Christmas party was one we always enjoyed. Rest in peace with the Lord. Renee and Rich Heisel

To my sweet Christian friend and my Quilting buddy. We have had so much fun over the years and you have been such a good friend. You talked me into going to the hospital a couple of times and made the difference in my treatment when they tried to give me a medicine to which you knew I had an allergy . You were always there for me and I tried to be there for you, I’m so glad I visited you when I did. You have always had a heart for your friends. I will miss you!

Jean, From the very first day we met at FFC, our hearts and minds blended and we became dear friends.
I am so thankful that the Lord brought us together to share joys, blessings and - yes sadness too. You were always calm, sensible and loving. I have missed you here in recent months since our move but am thankful for all our times together. I will see you in glory, I will bring the coffee, you bake the cake.
Love Lillilan
