I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Jean. She will be greatly missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers
Mama Jean was one of the most beautiful, sofisticated, loving individual s I’ve ever met. Her quiet confidence was inspiring. Prayers for her daughters and their families as they walk through this valley. Grateful for the promos that we do not grieve as those without hope. I’m certain that though this is an excruciating journey for her family, she is having a glorious reunion with those who have gone on before her. Rest In Peace Mama Jean. May you hear Jesus boldly declaring to you, ‘Well done, good and faithful sergeant. Enter into the joy of your maker.’? Much love. Rev Terri Steed Pierce, but better known as’?Gabe’? to the Satterfield family. :).
Donna, Diane and family. Sending love and prayers to all of you .it is very hard to give up the ones we love so dearly. We know she is in heaven
and I can only imagine the expression on her face when she sees Jesus.
God be with each of you.
Aunt Jean is smiling today and Uncle Bus and the rest of her family and friends are welcoming her home. What a glorious day for her . . . and what a sad one for Diane, Donna and the rest of her family left behind. She was the sweet voice of peace when Satterfield tempers flared, and an unfailing source of love and encouragement to all whose lives she touched. I will miss her but look forward to the day when I will hug her again in Heaven.
To Diane and Donna – Those of us who love you will pray that you feel her love and presence during the difficult days ahead, lifting you up with reassurance that your parents raised strong, capable women. I know that they are still proud of you both and will tell you so when next you meet. Much love – Sandy and Cheryl

Diane,
It was so sad to hear about your Mother. I do send my best regards to you, and to Donna, and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers always. Love you Diane, Kathy DeBord Jolly
Dear Diane and Donna, Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your Mother was a truly lovely lady-inside and out! We have such fond memories of the times spent with Jean and ‘Bus’ and keeping you, Diane, when you were a baby! The Smith and Satterfield families leave a great legacy for those of us fortunate to have known their love and guidance.
God bless,
Marty
