I just now learned about Jean. She was a good friend and I will always remember her kindness. She would give her last cent if someone needed it. And she always had something to say to make my day better. We shared a lot of laughs through the years. I love you Jean Arnold! God bless your family, and I pray that they hold your memory dear.
I just now found out that Jean has died. I'm very sorry to hear this. She was a good friend to my family for many years and she will be missed.
