Guestbook

  1. Jean was much loved my me (Nancy Q. Wiley) not only was she my sister but she was my best friend and a stand in mother. My husband and sons Randy, Mark and Brian loved her dearly and she will be missed more than words can say. She and Lynwood are together again.

  2. I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Jean Queen Worrell. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm.-2 Thess. 216, 17. May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

  3. To my cousins Lisa and Robert. I’ll always remember coming to visit you all and staying at au t Jeans house in Rocky Mount. She was always so funny and had a sense of humor that would always make me laugh. She always made us feel at home and we love her and will get very much. But now she is with Uncle Lynwood and my daddy James P. quuen. Dad used to say that aunt Jean was lime a mother to him and he loved her very much and now they are together again and we will see them again very soon. Much love, kissed, and hugs to Lisa and Robert. God bless you all.

  4. Robert, Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. She was always a delight for me to sit near in church (when I attended!) in Wilson. As you know, she and my mom were dear friends who continued to stay in touch until my mom’s passing last year. Your mother loved you both so very much and would often talk about you, your lives and what you were both up to. She was a beautiful, kind, generous lady… My thoughts are with you both at this time. May our Father in Heaven comfort you as you deal with her passing.

  5. Our love to all the family. The family of Phylander and Oree Anderson. Trudy Simpson, Louana Duckworth-Cooper, Graham Anderson and Kenneth Anderson, cousins.

  6. So sorry to hear of your mom’s death Lisa. I have wonderful memories of going to your home many times as a youngster.

  7. I will always remember Mrs Worrell’s kindness growing up…never saw a frown on her face and she has and will always be a part of my life. The world is a little emptier now but, her memories will continue to bring sunlight in darkness… all our prayers and wishes.
