Condolences to the Family

I am so sorry to hear about Jean. Her and I were coworkers for many years at MM. She and I had many, many laughs and good times together. We always would text each other on our birthdays, and I didn’t hear from her after this past birthday of hers in November, I just found out why. I am so saddened by the news of her passing! She is someone I will never forget!

My sincerest condolences to the family for Jean’s passing.  She was a blessing to those she served and helped and was meticulous at her job.  I was blessed to have known and worked with her.  Rest in peace, Dear Jean, and may The Lord embrace your family with love.  Memory eternal.
