aunt jean was my mon`s clara mae weaver youngest sister. what fun menories i will always treasure.
Aunt Jean was a wonderful person who it was always a pleasure to be in her company. She was such a happy and outgoing soul. She was named the queen of the care center in Tulsa and everyone I talked to at the center expressed what a joy she was. I will miss talking to her on our weekly phone calls. I will miss her forever.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I have lost so many members of my family. Losing loved ones is overwhelmingly painful. One thing that brings me some comfort is what the Bible says at Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." We look to God through Jesus and his Kingdom to do this. My wife and I hope you find comfort as you endure your loss.
Jean was one of the sweetest people. We always had lots of fun when we were together. Her Daddy and my Grandpa Wilson were brothers.
