Mama Jean

[weaver]

Some of you may already know that my mom has been in the hospital for a week now and seems to be doing better. She sufers from congestive heart failure and was hospitalized because of fluid build up, we hope she will be able to come home next week, keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Alan

[Jim Harding]

So sorry to hear of your mom's hospitalization. She will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers.

[Stan]

Ditto on what Jim said, Jean will be in our prayers and thoughts.

Stan and Karen

[pgermond]

Sorry to read this news. Mama Jean will be in our prayers and thoughts as well. She is one heck of a lady. Keep us posted

[beast]

Sorry to hear that Alan. We will keep Ms Jean in our prayers. Please keep us up to date. Gary & Renee

[Jeff 427]

Alan,

Very sorry to hear about your Mom. We will keep her in our prayers! Hope she comes home soon!!

[dmswann]

Mama Jean, along with a few other "Weavers" have been on our church prayer list and in our personal prayers for quite some time. Glad to hear she is doing better and gets to come home soon.....I know she hates that hospital food. Give her a big hug and kiss on the cheek from me when you see her today!

[Silk]

Alan,

So very sorry to hear this, but glad she's on the upswing. We'll definitely keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

[pgermond]

Alan,

I forgot to mention - tell your Mom hello and that we are thinking of her.

[Slither]

Here's wishing Mama Jean a recovery that's faster than a high-powered Unique Cobra[thumb]! Please tell her "Hello" and that we are keeping her in our prayers (and the rest of you, as well;)). God speed!

[juanone]

Wishing her all the best. Her warmth and friendly voice on the other end of the phone is much needed again. She makes all of us feel part of the family.

Our thought are with her and the Weaver family.

[weaver]

The Dr is going to perform a heart cath on my mom tomorrow, they are trying to find out why her kidney's are not working well. I will keep you posted when we know more.

[ralphscott]

We will continue our prayers for Jean we love her. We are also praying for the family as well as the surgeon.

God Bless y'all

[Aggressor]

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

-Geary & Sharon

[weaver]

Heart cath at noon today, will keep you posted.

[weaver]

Heart cath went well, she has a blood clot that they will treat with thinners. Her heart is only working at 25% which is about what we thought, they will start her on new meds along with rehab and hope she gets better.

[ralphscott]

Thanks Alan I know it is tough for your families. Thanks for keeeping us updated. We will keep praying fro Mama Jean and y'all as well

[arrowdriver]

Seems we are all family here. My thoughts and best wishes are with you too. I can sort of relate to this, having spent over three weeks in the hospital last year sitting on the cardiac ward with a monitor attached to me 24/7. Odd thing was I was the only one there without a heart condition. I'd been hit with pulmonary embolism that damned near killed me. They were controlling my heart beat with meds and treating me with blood thinners to prevent any more blood clots forming. Good part of mine was I eventually did fully recover and as long as I'm on blood thinners should not have any recurrences.

There were a lot of patients there with the same problem your mom has. All of the ones I met eventually walked out of there and hopefully she will too.

[PhillipM]

Your mom and family is in our thoughts and prayers.

[pgermond]

It's always good when the cause is identified. I too can relate, having the same condition. It can get better - I've enjoyed a 100% improvement in the last 6-months with a heavy regiment of meds. Tell her to keep her head up and get well.

[weaver]

They removed the cathiter today, she feels better already! Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.

[Slither]

Excellent[thumb]! Prayers continue...

[Jim Harding]

Great news, thanks for the update. Can't doubt the power of prayer.

[juanone]

Alan,

Please give your Mom my regards and a big hug from all of us.

Looking forward to hearing her voice again on the phone.

Juan

[weaver]

Mom's still in the hospital and doing a little better, we had hoped she would go to rehab today but it looks like it will be sometime next week.

[OROBBE]

Hi Alan,

From my side in France I wish a quick restoring to your mom.

Hope she will get back to home quickly.

OliveR

[richardu]

Alan: Barb and I have Momma Jean and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Dick Untch

[olblu66]

Thinking of you Mrs. Weaver. Get well soon.

[davebetts]

Sandy and I give our best wishes, get better soon. You have alot of people who care, lean on them, for now, and get back home. You can do it, after all YOU ARE BUILT FORD TOUGH!

[weaver]

Mom's still in the hospital, they can't seem to get the fluid off enough to send her to rehab. Last Thursday a nurse was helping her to the bathroom and let her slip, now she has a fractured ankle on top of the other problems.

[Jim Harding]

Damn, when it rains it pours! We're keeping Jean in our thoughts and prayers.

[Slither]

Wow, sorry to hear that. Watch out for nosocomial infection (passed around by bad hand washing/cleaning/etc.), as well. It is one of the most common causes of extending hospitals stays. It kills many people every year, too. Anyone that enters the room should be made to wash their hands well before anything else gets done. The Docs can be especially bad.

[diegokid]

Haven't been to the site in awhile. Makes it even worse to hear the news about MS Jean. We will put her in our prayers.

[traveler]

Alan , Very sorry to hear your mom is having problems . She is one of the nicest ladies I know .Sometime when I am having a not so good day I call Unique just to say hello to her .It always changes my day for the better .

Please tell her she is in my prayers . I know from personal experience that a hospital is not always the best place to get over an illness . I hope she will be able to come home very soon .

Rick Findley

[weaver]

Moms still in the hospital and doing a little better, the doc said she might be ready to go to rehab in a couple of days. I think once she's in rehab and gets her strength back she will be OK. She appreciates the best wishes you guy's send her and she said to keep praying for her.

[Silk]

Glad to hear she's improving! Still in our thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted.

[scott h]

thanks for sharing the good news. your mom and your family are in our thought daily.

[weaver]

The doctor signed her release papers this morning so she should be in rehad later today, this has been a long 3 1/2 weeks for the entire family, hopefully she will do good in rehab and be able to go home soon.

[Jim Harding]

Excellent! Yes, it's been a long time for you and your family Alan, but it looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel now. Great news!

[weaver]

She starts rehab today, her mood was alot better just being out of the hospital. I will keep everyone posted as she improves.

[Stan]

Glad she is doing better, we will keep her in our prayers.
Stan and Karen

[weaver]

Mom had to be taken back to the hospital today, she is very week and hurting all over, we think it could be a urinary infection from the cath.

[ralphscott]

Alan and Maurice, we are so sorry to hear of the pain your mom is going through. We are praying for comfort and ease for your whole family and praying for a healing for your mom.

God Bless you all. Tell Jean and your dad that we are Praying for her.

Ralph and Gayle

[weaver]

Mom is in ICU, her kidneys are not working very well and her blood preasure dropped to 60/30, they were able to get her preasure up and are running test this morning on her kidneys. Visiting hours are at 9:30 and we hope to know more then.

[weaver]

Just got back from the 6pm visit, her blood preasure is pretty good but they still haven't done much for her kidneys. She is very tired and restless but seems to be willing to fight to get better. I will see her again tonight at 9 and will try to give a update then.

[weaver]

Keep praying for my mom, she is fighting infections.

[Slither]

Praying for y'all every day[thumb]. Best wishes to Mama Jean, and the family, for her speedy recovery.

[pgermond]

We just got back in town and saw these post. Your Mom is in our thoughts and prayers. Tell her to hang in there..... there is no where to go but up.

[weaver]

They are adding frozen plazma to her blood for thickening, they hope to put her on dialysis to help get rid the poisons out of her blood. We should know more later today.

[Jerry Cowing]

I'll definitely keep her in our thoughts and prayers. Hope everything turns out well. Just went through this with my girl friend's mother who also had fluid on her heart and 5 bypasses. She is recovering well now at home.

[weaver]

The doctor decided against dialysis because her kidneys have started to put out 80 cc of fluid per hour, this is a good thing because it was going to be risky with her being so weak.

[ralphscott]

Awesome Keep the prayers going folks!!

[pgermond]

Thanks for the updates, Alan.

[weaver]

Moms putting out 120 cc of fluid now with a small dose of Lassix so things are looking up, she was resting good last night. We have not talked to her since Sat morning because it seemed to make her anxious, if she is resting when we go for visiting hours we just talk to her nurse and let her sleep. She has been diagnosed with diabetes so that might have caused some of the problems, she will have to keep that in check.

[Naumoff]

Glad your mother is doing better. She will be in my prayers.

[weaver]

This morning she was pretty much the same, getting plenty of rest and not saying anything. They said she has lost about 14lbs of fluid in the past few days so that is good. She is getting nutrition through an IV because she doesn't have an apetite.

[ralphscott]

Alan that sounds very promising, that is a lot of fluid to lose and that should help her heart quite a bit. I am so glad the Drs. are making progress. We are continuing in prayer...

God Bless

Ralph and Gayle

[289/271]

Alan...thanks for the frequent updates. Certainly hope she pulls through this OK.

Barry

[weaver]

Had a good day today, she was awake and was able to talk a bit even managed a few smiles and laughs. They are moving her to the next available step down room

[ralphscott]

Praise the Lord Alan this is a miracle in the making.

[pgermond]

Great news! [thumb]

[Slither]

Super! Glad to hear it... prayers will continue[thumb]!

[Silk]

Excellent news!!! All of you are still in our thoughts and prayers.

[weaver]

She was alert this morning and was able to talk to us. They were feeding her pancakes which is the first solid food she has had since she's been in ICU.

[Jim Harding]

That is a great sign toward full recovery. Excellent news.

[ralphscott]

Praise the Lord! Give her a big hug from us!!

Ralph and Gayle

[olblu66]

So glad to here this. She's one of a kind and can't be replaced.Want to see you next year at the homecoming ok!

[juanone]

Alan,

We are all so very happy that your Mom is recovering. Power of positive thinking, prayer, and being good influences people. She has all of that.

Juan

[arrowdriver]

Alan, I haven't been to the forum for quite a while and had assumed that your mom was likely home and recovering well by now, so was shocked to read of her setbacks etc. We are all hoping for the best and praying for her. My mom and dad are long gone but I still often think of them and wish they had lived longer to see their grand kids grow etc. Just be grateful for the time that God gives you.

[weaver]

Not much to update, still in ICU and stable. We thought she might go to a room soon but they are trying to get her stronger.

[weaver]

This morning she was doing about the same, still weak but making progress.

[Tony Radford]

Alan, just got the memo. Add one more daily prayer to the list. All the best.

[weaver]

Thanks Tony.

[weaver]

Well we thought she was going to a step down room today but she had a fever this morning, they are working to get her temp down so they can move her soon.

[PhillipM]

Alan, we will continue to keep your mom on our prayer list.


Phillip

[weaver]

Still in ICU, fever has gone down and she is stable.

[weaver]

Same as yesterday.

[Buzz]

Hi Alan, I've been away from the forums for quite a while, initially due to my own Mom's health issues. Please convey our best wishes to Mrs Weaver and your whole family for a speedy recovery. Thoughts and prayers coming her way all the way from St. Lucia.

[weaver]

Thanks Buzz, mom is still pretty much the same, her temp goes up and down because of an infection they are treating. I don't see her getting out of ICU in the next few days.

[pgermond]

Alan,

She has been in the hospital for quite a while, how is she holding up? Not to mention your family - how is the rest of the family holding up?

It has to be tough. We are hoping and praying for the best outcome.

[weaver]

She has very little energy and is sleeping most of the time. The last infection has set her back but she is holding her own, her vitals are really good just no energy.

[juanone]

Please tell her we all very much love her and are pulling for the best recovery.

Juan

[Buzz]

People often find a sense of power in the ability to destroy. But those of us who survive our early years of folly and constant learning from our mistakes eventually come to realize that true power only comes when you are capable of making a positive impact on other peoples lives in even the most subtle ways.

Mrs Weaver makes me; and I'm sure many, many others; feel better every single time we hear her voice, regardless of who we are, where we are or what's going on in our lives at the time. Only a truly wonderful person can do that, and now its time for us to return that strength and positive energy to make her feel better. It's time for all of us that she has touched in person or over great distances to let her know that we love her and we're pulling for her.

Let's make sure she knows that in addition to her real family, she has a huge bunch of adopted sons and daughters all over the place who need her to pull through so that in this complicated world, a big handful of people can still find comfort in the presence of real genuine goodness.

[weaver]

Thanks Juan and Buzz !!!!

[juanone]

Wow Buzz, that was truly beautiful and heartfelt. Thanks from all of us, we needed to hear it said your way,

Thanks again

Juan

[dmswann]

I just found out that Mama Jean passed away around 9:30 last night. She was a lady that if you ever met her, you would never forget. She was like a second mom to many of us who have been fortunate enough to call the Weavers friends and be a member of the UNIQUE Motorcars family. Please pray for the whole family in this time of great loss. I am sure that more details will be posted later.

Our loss is Heaven's gain!

[TurnpikeBoy]

Godspeed, Mama Jean. Your time here was heartfelt by so many. We have all been lifted by your grace and cheer.

Prayers and strength to all the Weaver family.

[olblu66]

So sad to here this. She was just a great person and will be missed by many.I can't put to words and express myself like so many can on this forum, but she will truly be missed by me. My heart goes out to the Weaver family for there loss.

[Jim Harding]

This is so sad. I never had the pleasure of meeting her face to face. Our contact had always been on the phone, where she was always helpful and greated you like you were her closest friend. She will surely be missed. God speed dear Jean, may heaven be blessed by your arrival.
My sincere condolence to the entire Weaver family.

[juanone]

To Alan, Maurice and the entire Weaver Family, our most humble condolences. A wonderful soul is watching over us now, we are so lucky to have known her and to have been affected by her loving warmth, the memory will live in our hearts forever.

Juan

[eliminator]

You know I always called her "Mom Weaver"

She loved to be in the middle of everything and all of us. So she really enjoyed being the first contact at Unique Motorcars. You always spent a little time with her, or in some cases a lot of time with her before you got to Alan or Maurice.

So yes that voice on ther phone that said "hey Buddy" will be missed but not forgotten.

She enjoyed her family in the Gadsden area and it's really good they all got to spend a lot of time with her.

Cheryl and I will miss her.

[pgermond]

She was a wonderful-wonderful person. I just don't have the words right now. My thoughts are with the family.

[Tony Radford]

Alan, Maurice and family - so dreadfully sorry for your loss. I'll never forget that voice whenever I called Unique. Truly a southern belle. Always treated me like kin. Definitely famous in the Cobra world.

T

[K.Wilson]

To the Weaver Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Weaver will be truley missed by her "extended family".
Keith

[Mike Del]

To all of the Weaver family,

My sincere condolences for your loss. A loss to all of us in the Unique family. Her warm embrace and kisses will be missed by all of us. Every year, at Homecoming, when Tom and I arrived, Mama Jean would embrace us and welcome us "home". She always greeted us as you would expect your own mother would welcome you after a long time away. I would sit and chat with her, and she would tell me about the family updates. She doted on her family and was very proud of each and every one. I am glad that I had the priviledge to have known her. Thank you Mama Jean for being you.

[scott h]

my condolences to the Weaver Family,
I haven't had to call Unique for some time now, but I can still hear jean's voice. I always got off the phone with a smile. She will be missed by all.

with deepest sympathy, Scott

[weaver]

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time. She thought of all of her customers as family. We finalized her funeral arrangements today and they are as follows
Visitation Monday at Glencoe/Hokes Bluff Funeral Chapel from 11:30 1:00 Chapel Service to follow. Graveside service to be held at Crestwood Cemetary. We decided to have the visitation and burial the same day to make it less stressfull on my dad.

[PhillipM]

We have truly lost a sweet soul. I can’t imagine calling the shop and not hearing her voice on the other end. I never told her but she always reminded me of my grandmother. The Weaver family is in our thoughts and prayers.

[weaver]

Mom's obituary will be in Sundays news paper and can be found on www.gadsdentimes.com

[Buzz]

I am truly saddened to hear this. Condolences to Alan, Maurice and the entire Weaver family. Thank God you have each other to pull together and carry on as she'd want you to. What a wonderful person she was.

[ralphscott]

Alan, Maurice, the entire Weaver family, we are saddended by the passing of your beloved Mamma Jean.. We know that because of her faith she has a very special place in Heaven. We will pray for the family and cherish the fun times and discussions we had with her.
God Bless you all.

Ralph and Gayle

[beast]

We are so sorry to hear about Miss Jean, she was a very special person, she will be deeply missed by us and the rest of the cobra family. Please contact us if we can do anything to help you during this difficult time. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Gary and Renee Darsey

[Slither]

This is truly a sad moment in our Cobra fraternity. I can clearly hear her voice, one that I looked forward to hearing each time I called, saying, "Unique Motor Cars, may I help you please?". I am saddened for the loss that the Weaver family must undergo, and I am sad that I will never hear that greeting ever again. God speed Mama Jean!

[bittentoo]

I am posting tonight as Jodina, for Kelly and I. Kelly didn't realize how much it would touch him to know he wouldn't hear Mama Jeans' voice on the other end of that phone when he called! We began reading the other posts and cried here together knowing a great person has past on.
What a great FAMILY all of you are. You have always made the rest of us feel like "family" so it touches each one of us greatly to lose the matriarch of our family!
God Bless each of you family members that feel the loss even more so than us as extended family, we pray for God to give you grace and comfort during this time.

God Bless!
All our Love,

Kelly and Jodina Mullins

[souzape]

Alan/Maurice,

So very sorry to hear about your Mom. Losing a loving parent or child is a very special loss....but they are never far away in your heart when they were close in life.

Press on. I'm sure that is what she would have wanted.

Phil and Becky Souza

[Ric S.]

Mama Weaver is now an Angel in heaven looking over us. When I look back over my time as a cobra owner I think as much of my wonderful experience with the Weaver family as I do the car. For that I thank you. I know Mama Jean will always be with me as a wonderful memory that impacted everyone she met.

Ric

[spd4me]

Sure heart broken to see her go. Moma Jean was truly a southern lady. Always kind and courteous evertime I called or went by the shop. She treated everyone like they were her own children. The best is yet to come, one day we'll see her again!
Bob

[mkassab]

Alan and Maurice....

My wife, Mel, and I are deeply sadden with the passing or your mother and great friend to all of us! As I'm sure both of you are aware your full attention now has to be with your dad. Mel and I went through a like situation a little over 11 months ago and, in some ways, dealing with my father's "hurts and needs" were just as important. Keep your dad busy in any way possible. There's lots of social network activities that will help keep him occupied if the shop can't keep him busy enough. He'll most likely be reluctant.... but one step at a time.

Our thoughts and prays are with you both.

Mark & Mel Kassab

[V8er]

Our sincere condolences on the loss to the entire extended family of like-minded folk. What a grand lady Mama Jean was. I'm so thankful I got to meet her in person after many friendly phone conversations! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
From the Fort family in Texas,
Paul

[Naumoff]

Our condolence to the Weaver family. You will be on our prayers.

[Silk]

Alan and Maurice,

I was so saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a wonderful, wonderful woman. You undoubtedly have a host of great memories of her to help carry you and your families through this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

Gary

[weaver]

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this sad time, my mom thought of all of you as family. It was hard coming back to work today and her not being here, I guess it will get a little easier with time. Thanks again for all the cards, flowers and well wishes.

The Weaver family

[289/271]

I'm very sorry to hear of Mama Jean's passing. Every time I called the office, she made me feel like an old friend, not just a customer. An awful lot of people will miss her and she will be remembered by us all.

Barry Hickman

[twanita]

Alan and Maurice- Wanted to offer my condolences. Jean's warm personality always shined through and made talking to Unique a pleasant experience. She will be sorely missed. Jim Ofria

[Russ Dickey]

I just saw the update on CobraCountry, and wanted to express my condolences to the Weaver family. I am so sorry for your loss. I spoke with Jean several times on the phone, and she was always so pleasant, friendly, and willing to help. She will be missed.

My thoughts are with you.

Sincerely,

Russ Dickey

[rldunn7]

Maurice ,Alan, Jim and the whole Weaver family, Linda and I are sorry to hear about your Mother. Jean was a special person and will be missed by all of us. I am sorry we did not know about her being sick. We just do not go to the website much anymore. Our hearts are heavy and the shop just will not be the same without her. God bless all of you... Richard and Linda Dunn

[weaver]

We would like to thank each and evryone of you that sent cards or made a donation to her church's building fund, my mom made it her mission to see that her church was able to build a gym for the youth department and was pretty much funding it on her own. She would have been overwhelmed by the amount raised. Thanks again from the Weaver family.

[traveler]

Maurice , Alan , I just now found out that your mom has passed . I am so sorry . Your mom was a truley Unique lady . She always treated me as part of her extended family as I know she did everyone else that knew her . I called her many times not to talk business but just to say hello to her because she always could turn a bad day into a good day for me .
My mom passed away in 1991 and that was the last time I had tears in my eyes until I saw the news tonight . I can truely say I am a better person from having known her and I have lost a friend . Your moms legacy will be measured by the many peoples lives she touched in such a positive way . I am sure she has a special place in heaven where she can watch over us all . She will truely be missed . Thank you for sharing her with us all .

Rick Findley

[weaver]

Thanks Rick.

Just signed on for the first time in a month and read the sad news. My sympathy goes to your family. I have lost both my parents and though it was quite a few years ago, I still think of them frequently and all the things they missed like the birth of our grandkids etc. Life will go on though it will never be quite the same.

[Jerry Cowing]

Alan, Maurice,
Just logged on and saw mama Jean had passed. So sorry. I always enjoyed hearing her voice whenever I called and it always brought a smile to my face. She will be missed.

[weaver]

Thanks Jerry.
