Godspeed, Jean...

Jean Stevens was my mother-in-law's best friend.
Jean was an influential person in Heidi's life.
She presented godly words of wisdom at choice moments.
Jean Stevens was a fighter.

Tonight, Jean lost her fight with cancer. Though Jesus defeated death, I suspect that Jean gave him a good lickin', too.

More than anything else, Jean loved Jesus. Tomorrow morning, when I help lead a congregation into the presence of God in worship, Jean will be in His presence, personally. That which I will see only dimly, she now sees clearly.

In this world, you invested well, Jean. Now, run to the arms of your Master and begin this new eternal life filled with the love of His presence.

Peace on your journey,

Matt
