Proverbs 8:35 For who so findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord.
Don't Weep For Me
Don’t weep for me
For I’ve made it home
Through Heavens gates
There I may roam.
Wipe your tears
And dry your eyes
I’m in a better place
With Heaven as my prize.
Don’t weep for me
No tears and no sorrow
Live life for Jesus
He promises tomorrow.

Our Deepest Sympathy to all the Family !
Sweet Mary Jean cared for me from birth til 13. She was a second mother to me and I loved her dearly. She will always remain close to my heart.
Our Deepest Sympathy to Family , Friends. And her Sunday School Class.
The world is a better place because Mary Jean Adams was here. She lovingly cared for my daughters, Claire and Katie, and treated them as if they were her own. She was a part of our family holiday and birthday celebrations for many years, and we kept in touch after my family moved away from Linden. Rest In Peace, Mary Jean. You are greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
