To Jean's family... You don't know me--Jean and I went to high school together way back in the early 60's before she left to go to Nebraska, I believe it was. We made contact again when someone told me she was working at Blazer here in Colonial Heights. I dropped by Blazer to visit with her and we talked for much too long for a business office, I'm sure, but we had lots to catch up on! After we located each other again (small world--here we both were in Colonial Heights all these years!) we planned to get together often. I regret that we were never able to do that... but know, dear family, that Jean is at peace and nothing in the world makes her any happier where she is now than to look down and see smiles on the beautiful faces of those she loves instead of tears. She hasn't left--she has just gone ahead to wait--and she has plenty of time for you to get there so she would say, "no hurry"! Live your life and be happy for her! We will all miss her! Sincerely, Joyce Estep-Williams (Colonial Heights High School Class of 1962) P.S. If you would like a picture of her from Petersburg High School (yes, she went there, too), send me an email address and I will send you her picture from the PHS Missile (the annual yearbook). Posted by: Joyce Estep-Williams at February 26, 2005 01:32 PMDear Sheila, Although we just met online recently while discussing our family trees I want you to know should there be anything you need that you can ask. I read late about the news of your mom, but am here if you should need anyone to talk with. Family is family...even when just meeting. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your siblings.

I know that you were a wonderful granddaughter up to the end and you were always there when she needed you. I hope that your memories will make it easier for you to cope. I am so sorry and I hope that you will call me if you need anything. Take care. God bless you! Susan Posted by: Susan Blair at February 16, 2005 05:59 PM |
