From Tiffany (Bennett) Trent & The Bennett Family
Very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Ima Jean was one of my co-workers at Newman Tech. I doubt a day that goes by without someone asking Lou if she has heard from her. We all miss her very much, and are sorry for the loss.
Scott, and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
What a blessing to know Sis Jean. She never complained or asked “Why me?”. She continued to give praise and honor to God. She has only passed from a life of sickness, trouble and sorrow to an eternal life of joy and peace. Our prayers are that God will bless each member of her family to recognize her relationship with God and desire the same for yourself. We pray that God will comfort you at this time of great loss and help you to prepare to go where she has gone.
In Christian Love,
Bro Dennis & Sis Nelvia
