    Jean sung many times, "...snd the sun's coming up in the morning. Every tear will be gone from my eyes. This old clay's gonna give way to victory. Like an eagle I'll take to the skies." I'm so sorry ... Jean was/is so special to me. The whole family's talent & inspiration will live on after we, too, "take to the skies." I pray that the Comforter makes His presence known and remains close during this time.
