Your smile and your laugh was contagious. You will be missed, Jean Jean. Fly high. God bless.
Toby,
We are sorry to hear the news of the passing of your mom. Our thoughts are with you & your family.
Love,
Tammy & Chris Woods
With deepest sympathies and earnest prayer.
With deepest sympathies to the Baker family.
With such a heavy heart, I remember Jean as a loving Mother to her three boys along side others she kept in her home with love. I have pictures of the day Bryan and Toby starting kindergarten at Charlotte Park. We were the Moms in the stand cheering on our boys for over eight years in baseball and football. She was the best hostess, in all the get togethers with Billy and her friends she kept near. Words do not say how sorry Bud and I are for all of her beautiful family. I’ve loved knowing you all for what seems my entire life. Comfort in knowing you will see her again in Heaven.
