Jean was such an inspiration to me when I first met her through Soroptimist. She always made me and others feel special, and she was such a good friend, We had many discussions about family - children, grandchildren and life in general. You could feel the love in her for family, us in soroptimist through the kindness she showed to others. Jean will be missed by many. Bob and I send our love and prayers to all of you.

My deepest sympathies to the Royster family during this time of loss. Jean was always kind and made everyone feel welcomed. I enjoyed seeing her in the Christmas festivities as Mrs. Claus. She will be missed by those whose lives she had touched. May you and your family find peace and comfort knowing that she rests easy now and no longer suffers in this world. God bless.

My deepest sympathies to the Royster family and friends. The Bible offers not only comfort for the family but hope for those we've lost in death as well. When Jesus was on earth he performed many resurrections. At John 5:28,29 he said," there's going to be a resurrection..." Yes, in the near future he will awaken those sleeping in death as just as he awakened his friend Lazarus. Reflect on this promise as you recall the many memories of your loved one.
