Wannamaker Family~

Deepest sympathy on the loss of your daughter and sister. Jean will be missed by many. I used to enjoy shopping in Maurice's and visiting with Jean when I'd come back to town to visit family. May she rest in peace and be reunited with her husband.

The short time I knew Jean it was easy to see her faith in the Lord. She was a very positive person. I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

We got to know Jean in our small group Bible Study. She was so strong in her faith during her illness. We always enjoyed it when she would attend our group whenever she was in Hays. We will miss her. Our condolences to her family.
