  2. Jean was always fun to be around. I loved her accent. She was a great wife, Mother, and Grandmother. No doubt she will be missed by everyone who knew her.

  3. Sorry to hear about the passing of Miss Jean. She was a sweet lady, loved seeing her walk down the street with Robert. I know she loved her family and enjoyed hosting Sunday dinner. Remember all the good times with your mom and grandma. She’s not suffering anymore and will be praying for us. My thoughts and prayers are with the Summerville family. Praying for strength for you at this difficult time. 💜🙏
