    My deepest sympathies to Jolene’s family, her residents, and the staff at Gower. Jolene was a true joy to be around when I came out for the facility for my visits. She always had a smile on her face, a kind word to share, and so much love for her residents. She has left a huge void in so many hearts.

  • Mary Miller and Dave Hinnant

    We will miss the beauty and kindness that Joleen always gave to others. She was so special, always loving, enthusiastic, graceful, and she knew how to bring out the goodness in others. She touched so many lives, and we are so grateful for that. We loved her and missed her but know God got another angel when He took Jolene home. So these bible verses are great ones to remember as you think of Jolene in Heaven now, happy as can be, with no worries or cares.
    Joshua 1:9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
    Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
    Matthew 5:4. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
