    We were sorry to hear of the passing of Jean. We have many fond memories of where our lives touched in the old days in Hanover. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ernie and family at this difficult time. Sometime ago I ran across this little poem that seems appropriate at this moment. “Peacefully sleeping, resting at last, Her weary trials and troubles past, In silence she suffered, in patience she bore, Till God called her home to suffer no more.� With condolence
