So sorry for your loss. Jean was always cheerful and smiling. I looked forward to seeing her when I would visit my mom. I know you all know this, but she was very proud of her family. She would always fill me in on the latest news/accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. She was a great friend to my mom, Joanne, the last years of her life. And I always appreciated that my mom had a friend like Jean, especially after my dad died. She will be greatly missed. — Burt Wilson
