Karen, Diane family, My thoughts and prayers to you all. Saddened to read in this mornings paper, that your mom has passed. It was with great pleasure that I met your mom through working with you both at school. Always remember the wonderful times you had with your mom grandmother.

Dear Karen and family, I’m sad to read of your mothers death. I work for Pepsi Cola and met Jean (and Jim) in 1980 when they worked for 7-11. I was the Pepsi driver that was always late, but each time her employees called her, she always allowed me to deliver. She was always a sweet and pleasant manager to work with. There’s not alot that I can say that will help each of you at this time, but I encourage you to lean on the Holy Spirit because I know that He can be a comfort to you. May God Bless with his love as only he can do. Frank Lowder, Charleston, SC.
