Ed - I was sorry to hear about Jean's passing. May the Lord bless & comfort you & your family during this difficult time. I loved Jean and admired her greatly. I think of both of you two often. I wasn't able to make the viewing or the graveside services. I wanted to, but I had some health issues (double vision) that prevented me from doing so. Take care of yourself. Just remember, as I know you do, that your reunion with Jean will be glorious beyond measure. You guys have been a great example to me. Mom loved you guys a lot too.
