    Jean was a treasure; a woman I dearly loved. I missed visiting with her when I moved away. She missed her Sheldon so much after he passed away. I know that they are finally together. Heaven's gain is our loss. Amy Falbo Houser

    Beautiful memories of Jean and Sheldon from my time at St. Lukes. At my ordination Jean gifted me with a beautiful cross that had been given to Sheldon for his service to the choir of St. Lukes. I wear it proudly still. May she rest in peace and rise in glory as she is reunited with her loved ones in Christ's presence.
