  4. When Jesus hung on the cross he said it is finished. What he was saying is an old life has ended. But, a new life is just beginning. Jean was one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She always had milk and cookies or a glass of water. There was never a non-Christlike moment when she around you. She treated everyone the same no matter what age you were. Her old life has ended but she now has a new body and a new life. My condolences to the family as we here are heart broken of the sad news. But also know she is in the presence of the Lord. May you find peace of mind and heart. God bless all of you.
