I worked with Jean for may years, she was one of the strongest Christian women I have ever met. I literally looked up to Jean, she was an inspiration to me personally, both as a Christian and as a person. Search as long and far as you will, you will never find a better human being than Jean McGinn! I am sadden by her passing but I celebrate her victory! My God reward her richly.

My sincerest condolences go out to your family, it's never easy losing someone in death. May you take comfort in God's promise found at Revelation 21:4, which says "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This verse brought me peace when I experienced loss, I hope it can do the same for you. May the memories you have give you strength during this difficult time.
