    I/ We will forever hold the beautiful memories of Ms. Jean in our hearts. Ms. Velma is what you considers a true servant for God. My family have known her for decades. We considered her our Auntie/ family. She was always that lady in the neighborhood that had a caring, compassionate disposition to assist you with anything she could. She had the flair as a master gardener and spectacular visionary for home decor and decorations. I always enjoyed just how she would change a room's decors within minutes. She will forever be missed. Rest easy ......Ms. Jean.
