    Leonard and family,
    Jean leaves a legacy of persistent faith and enduring trust in Jesus for us to follow. What an inspiration, and amazing example she has left for us. This is a time of sorrow and sadness for all those left behind but a time of rejoicing for Sister Jean as she stands before the One in whom she has trusted all these years, through all the highs and lows of life. She is finally seeing Him face to face, looking into the eyes of the Savior that she loved so much with her life. What a celebration that must be in heaven! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
