Very sorry to hear about your loss. She was a very nice person. All of us at Richland Bell Furniture will miss her.
I have known Jean and her family since I was a little baby. She has always been a very loving and good friend. She is now with God and all his loved ones and once and for all at peace and free of her restrictive body here on earth. God bless her and all her family. We will miss her but always and forever have her in our hearts.
