We are grief stricken at the passing of our Jean. She was much loved by our family.
You were a blessing to my life. I love you Mrs. Jean I don’t remember my life without you. Our old souls could talk and I enjoyed your company every time I got to visit and fellowship with you!
With all my love, Nathan Trull
I enjoyed the times I spent with Jean. I’m sorry I won’t get to see her more, our friendship was too short. My thoughts are with her favorite people.
Sweet Jenny and my old friend, Bobby, I am so sorry to read about the passing of your mom and sister. She was a dear Alexander friend to our family. I pray peace over all the family . Share always and hold each other close.
Our deepest sympathy in your loss. It is always hard to give up our mothers. I lost mine back in 2016. Roma Jean & Una were acquainted with mama, the late Ila Parham & also my sister Shirley Parham Clark, who is currently in the former Baptist Home, now called River Bend. She just turned 78 on 11-15 & is under Hospice care. We all lived on Ridgeview Road, down from Tipton Hill Rd. Again our condolences.
Alice and I enjoyed dinner with Roma Jean in August during the 65th Anniversary of North Buncombe High School’s class of 1958. It was a delightful time and we will cherish our memory of this evening with her. We are saddened by her passing and extend our deepest sympathy to the family during this time of loss and sadness. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Love & prayers for all. Loved Roma Jean & her sweet spirit!
So sorry about Jean she was a very sweet person she will be truly missed prayers for her family
What a great loss to our lives.! What a heartbreak, shock 😢. Jean ( now all these years I’ve known & loved this terrific lady & friend, did not know her 1st name was Roma??). Love it. Loved her❤️. Guess we never got around to mentioning our full name??…too much else to talk about. ER @ MMH we first met. I’m so sorry for the loss of this beautiful, God-loving, family & friend-loving lady. We will see her again. Love forever
On behalf of myself, my children (Cody and CayCee) and my brothers (Tim and Daryl) we are so sorry for your loss. Ms. Jean was a wonderful person and friend. She will be missed. Prayers for her family.
