To Doris Wagner:
Please accept our deepest sympathy. We will miss Jean’s smiling face, at senior center pinochle. When we joined Happy Hours to play pinochle you both made us feel so welcome. Jean always greeted us with a big smile and we enjoyed talking to her and enjoyed her company. She will be greatly missed.
You were so brave at the Christmas party, do not know how you held up,
it must have been so hard.
You are in our prayers.
With deepest sympathy, love,
Jaunita and Jim Finefrock
