    I first met Jean in 1981 when I became pastor of Reedy Springs Baptist Church. She and I have been friends ever since. She was really good to me & I will miss her. I thank God for the blessing of knowing her.

    I was so sorry to learn of the sudden death of Jean New. I cherish the many times we rode together to Peninsula Baptist Association WMU Leadership Team meetings. We both enjoyed talking about growing up in Southside VA. Jean was a dear, soft-spoken woman who never tired of serving others; she will be greatly missed.
