Jeanie you will be very missed by me and Lollipop as we always walked by your house in the mornings.   A few times I must have walked a little earlier and would pick up your paper and set it on the front porch.  I looked forward when you would be in the front
getting it.  I kept you up on all my gossip. You were so kind and understanding when I lost my sister and became a guardian of my niece Chelsea.  I remember telling you God gave Sarah a baby at 90
and Nodji at 75.  I remember all the Block Parties after I moved on the street in 1971.  We had so many nice neighbors and had such fun on 4th of July, Memorial Day and especially our Block
Parties.  I will never forget Orland standing in the street and stopping the cars and letting them know how to drive on OUR
Street, especially since the block had many children, including yours and as they say "It takes a Village to raise a child" even with Orland.  And then we had "Ed Tony" as Orland's side kick.  You
should be so proud raising your & Orland's children.  I well remember the girls riding their bikes by the house occasionally.    
I don't thank Orland let his boys get by with anything.  I will remember you fondly and always a good friend to all.  Take care up there and tell Shawn his mom misses him so much and Robbie, my sister but know Jesus is doing a good job.  I will miss you so.
Love Nodji & Lollipop

Orlan and Family,
Words are easy to write but harder to say.  
Jeanie was our neighbor and true friend.  She was a caring and loving lady. Her heart was filled with love.  We will all miss her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your strong family.

Super sweet lady. Her refrigerator and pantry were always as loaded with goodies as her heart was with love and kindness. She had a considerable gift of patience but self control (meaning you would control yourself around her) was also part of her repertoire. There was always room for one more at her table. Her home was especially welcoming during my years at Texas A&M but also for my family in the decades that followed. Jeannie will forever have a place in our hearts. 

Dear Orlan & Family;
May our Good Lord comfort you and your family on the passing of your precious wife, of 69 years,  and mother from this life to be with Jesus and an Eternal Life with Him. She was a very kind, friendly and gracious lady-- traits which she inherited from her father and mother.I had the pleasure of working with you and her father at Conoco and have many precious memories.
Georgia, my wife of 70 years, and I always looked forward to your Christmas Letters, giving us an update on you folks and your wonderful families.
I will be Praying our Good Lord will put his loving arms around 
you folks and and walk with you as Jean occupies The Mansion in Heaven Jesus has prepared for her.
Blessings to all. 
Bill Hill

Orlan,

I was so sorry to hear the news of Jeanie's passing. I have lots of memories of the two of you from back in the day, and most of them involve her doing her best to keep you in line! That was a big job but she handled it without any trouble. Sherry and I will have Jeanie, you, and your family in our prayers. All the best, my old friend,

Sam

Condolences to you Orlan. Jean was always very special. May her memory be for a blessing

As an eleven-year Aussie boy growing up in the suburbs of Brisbane I was fascinated with adventure, travel and life abroad, particularly in the United States. So, when my family boarded the same whale watching boat as Orlan & Jeanie in the Spring of 98, in Hervey Bay Australia, they couldn’t get rid of me. I stuck to them like glue, interrogating them about their life and family in Texas, including their five grandchildren all of whom were of similar ages to myself. At the end of the tour Orlan  gifted me with his business card and insisted that I write to them. Thence a 22-year friendship was born.  

Over the years letter writing turned to email and eventually to social media. We stayed in touch and technology helped the friendship blossom, but it was truly cemented when I travelled to Texas in September 2005 and Orlan & Jean warmly welcomed me into their home and family for three weeks. We toured all over Texas and I was officially inducted into the McClung gang as their adopted Aussie grandson. I have so many fond memories of this trip and as I look back on more than a decade of travel, this continues to be one of the highlights and it’s a memory I will always cherish and hold close to my heart. The friendship was solidified even further when our families reunited in Houston for a week in May 2011. Together we shared many laughs and made more memories.  

I know I am a lucky guy because I got to experience Jeanie love, and she had a lot of it to give. I last checked in with the Jeannie on her birthday last month and my only regret is not telling her how much her love meant to me. I am sure she knew. Every birthday, every Christmas, every graduation, every special event: even Australia Day, Jeannie never missed a beat and you received her love, best wishes and prayers. I grew up with six grandparents, not four. For this I know I am very lucky, and I am grateful for their love, for her love, Jeanie Love.  You are the yellow rose of Texas Jeanie. Love you. RIP

Orlan,
We didn't  know each other well at Conoco but I always knew you  were a good guy and you always had a smile.   We knew we were  both from Ponca City.  
I am terribly sorry for your loss.  I know Jeannie was a great lady.
You two must have had a wonderful life together.  Wow , 69 years.

Take care Good Friend,

David Burrows

Dear Orlan and family

I was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma on Jan. 20,1933 and was in Po HI with Jeannie.  I have missed seeing her through the years but heard from her at Christmas often.  She was a lovely,  kind lady.  May The Lord be with you and your family at this difficult time.

In His Name I pray.

Margaret Whittenburg

When we lose someone we love, life changes, however, the love in our hearts grows stronger and deeper.  We will miss Sweet Jeanie and are praying for strength for your family to cope with her loss.
With sympathy and remembrance.
