Thinking of you and your family during this season of loss. Prayers of strength, peace, and relentless love as the days continue to pass. Special love to my dear friend, Stephanie.
Aunt Jean was a wonderful and kind woman. She was a Godly example to all of her nieces of what a Christian wife should be. She took such good care of Uncle Jerry when he became sick and truly was devoted to him. She was A Psalm 91 woman for sure and my hero growing up. I will miss her terribly but am blessed that it isn’t goodbye but see you later. I only pray I am half the wife and woman she was. Love you Aunt Jean!!!
My sympathy to the family of Jean Moore. I had the pleasure of working with Jean for a number of years at Hamilton/SunTrust Bank. I recall Jean being a very nice
quiet person.

Norma Jean, you were a sweet and kind person. I always appreciated your gentleness and loving nature. We had some good times as teenagers on our summer visits. May you enjoy your reunion with Jerry, Lester, and Brison. With much love, Your Virginia cousin, Joyce
