"Bonnie, Joe and Sarah - What a beautiful service for Jean. How true: Jean had so many friends because she was such a good friend. Jean was an inspiration as she fought courageously and steadfastly to keep the cancer "at bay" and be able to enjoy her family and friends. She will be missed tremendously but her memory will always be with those who knew and loved her. God bless her children and grandchildren - she loved each of you so very much! Linda Smith McAdoo"
