God has taken one of His angels home. Doing so, he has left a void in our hearts and in our neighborhood. Jean was one of the most kind and giving persons we have had the privilege to get to know, and we already miss her terribly. To her family, we keep you in our prayers during this most difficult time. To her girls, please know that you are not alone and should there be anything we can do, we are always as close as a phone call. May God bless you all.

I know how hard it is to loose a mother. She was a wonderful and lovely person
inside and out. She will be greatly missed. We had a lot of fun and laughs.

Sherrie & Family – Just got the news this morning about your dear Mom Jean passing away. I am so sorry to hear this. So glad I got to visit in her home in recent years. She will always leave an imprint in my mind of her vivacious smile, beautiful red hair, matching Shadowline lingerie sets, and the best HOMEMADE pancakes ever!! Rest assured that she is at Peace. Love you, Kathy Wilson Burleson – Morganton NC
I worked with Jean’s husband Grant for many years at Durham Life Insurance Company before he retired and I remember so well how highly he spoke of Jean and family. Over the years, Jean was always with Grant at any company function and her smile would light up the room. You don’t forget people like Jean. God Bless the family.
Debbie and Family – Just want you to know that we are praying for you during this difficult time.
Sherrie, I was so sad to hear about your loss. Thinking of you and praying you find comfort in your memories as you travel this journey of loss. Take care of yourself, God Bless you and bring you peace. Love Kim
My Dear Friend Debbie,
Am praying for you, Austin and family. I hope knowing your mom is no longer in pain and is with your dad now will, in some small way, help your tremendous grief and sadness. I wish I could be there and be with you. Please lean on Austin and don’t hold in your grief.
Much love – Angel
Dearest Debbie & Sherrie & Family, I’m sure you girls will not remember me, but, maybe Grant will. The last time I saw Grant, was at Ernest Simmons funeral ( many years ago ). My Mother, ( Virtie Mooney ) Morrissey was a sister to Rosie, my favorite, sweetest, aunt ever. May I add, she passed that personality on to all of her children. So, my parents, Virtie and Alex Morrissey, had 1 son (Jimmy), and 4 daughters (Anne, Marti, Bertie, & Margaret,ugh!, which is me and I have always been called Donnie). Bertie is in California and I am in the big city of Drexel, NC. You all can ask Lynn or Mary just about anything you want to know about me. I am married (47 years in Aug.) to Lewis
Honeycutt, Sr.. We have 2 sons, Eddie & wife Leemana, & Jason (in Greensboro & still looking). I am very ill and bed fast now , so I would love to get a note or e-mail any time.I know you all will miss beautiful Jean. Anyone that knew her will. We will keep you all in our prayers through this time. I have our church praying, also. I wish I could be there, I will in spirit and thoughts. I would love to have a program from her service……makes me feel a little closer.
Address: Donnie Honeycutt, P.O.Box 373, Drexel, NC. 28619 and e-mail below.
God bless you all.
This family is so blessed to have been friends with you all for these many years. The good times and fun we have had together will always remain in my heart with prayers for Sherrie and Debbie to remember during this sad time.

Much Love and prayers for you today and forever!
