My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family. She dearly loved her family and church family. Many fond memories of Jean and her many years of service to the children of ACC. I would be curious to know how many hundreds of children’s lives she touched through her love for Christ and her years of service. When I learned of Jean’s death, the first thing that came to mind, is that she is reunited with Jack once more. I am happy for her reunion and sad for your loss. For now, we continue to love those who are near and dear and look forward to the reunion we will all have one day with those who have gone on before. I will be praying for peace, comfort, strength and rest in the days ahead for you and your family.

Dear Cindy and Todd and families, Your mother was such a lovely lady. Always beautiful. Always cheerful and friendly and a beacon of brightness when our paths often crossed at AHS. I will be out of town on Saturday but I wanted to say hello this way and extend my deepest sympathy to both of you and your families. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Mary Jane Hurie
