    I extend my deepest sympathy to your family on the loss of Jean. Our Sunday School Class from Huntsville FBC goes to the Big Spring Nursing home two times monthly for singing and devotion. Last Wednesday I was very, very saddened when I asked Jean’s friend where she was and she told me the sad news. Since I had gone to school in Lincoln County and had relatives living there she was always asking me when I had been to TN. I will miss her dearly at Big Spring. May God comfort you with his love and guide you through this time of grief.

    With sympathy,
    JoAnne Posey Allen

    Dear Family,
    I have very fond memories of Ms. Jean when she would come to Church at Unity and set with my Great Grandmother Ola Milam. We always missed her. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

    We are blessed to have Sheila as a part of our family’s care for our mother. We know how much she gives of herself to others but can only imagine the pain of her loss. Her mother-in-law was lucky to have had her love and caregiving. We feel the same good fortune to have it now. God be with you and your family during the coming days, months, and years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
